Following a decision by the Chairman of Committees, House of Lords and the Chairman of Ways and Means, House of Commons the Bill will not be offered an opportunity to continue its passage through Parliament in Session 2012-13. The Bill will therefore not make any further progress.
The second reading of the Bill has been repeatedly opposed. A blocking motion has been tabled by a Member of Parliament which, while it remains in place, will effectively prevent the bill receiving a second reading until a debate is held. No date for a debate has yet been agreed. The table above shows the progress of the Bill and the next date the motion will be taken.
