The question is that the second reading, as amended, be agreed to.</p>

I was corrected by the Clerk—because I was five seconds early—that it was appropriate to put the second reading because we had started the amendments on the second reading. I therefore put the second reading because we'd commenced those divisions and I was five seconds early. At the request of the whips, I will now ask that the bells be rung for four minutes. The question is that the second reading, as amended, be agreed to.
