Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The next item that we are due to consider is a consolidation Bill, under Standing Order No. 58. That, in turn, rests on Standing Order No. 140(3), which states that such Bills are considered by some mysterious Committee that apparently must have a quorum of two. Are you satisfied that such a Committee will provide the House with sufficient protection? It appears that we are confronted, on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, with a Bill that could be significant or complicated, but which may be considered by a Committee that is quorate with only two Members. Are you satisfied that that is in order?
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Lord): It is not my responsibility to comment on such Standing Orders; it is my duty to ensure that they are correctly applied.
POWERS OF CRIMINAL COURTS (SENTENCING) BILL [LORDS]
Order for Second Reading read.
Motion made and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 58 (Consolidation Bills), That the Bill be now read a Second Time.--[Mr. Clelland.]
