To be read the Third time on Monday 1 December.
Mr. Graham Stuart (Beverley and Holderness) (Con): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I understand that there will no longer be time today to hold my Adjournment debate on the River Humber and River Hull flood management strategies, and I wonder whether I can ask through you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that Mr. Speaker look favourably on my application when the House returns, because my constituents, who were looking forward to having their grievances heard, will be disappointed not to have done so this evening.
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Michael Lord):
I can well understand the hon. Gentleman’s disappointment at not being able to hold his Adjournment debate this
evening. I am not in a position to guarantee these things, but I am quite sure that he will be able to have that debate early in the next parliamentary Session.
Sitting suspended, pursuant to Order [ 20 November ].
