Hon members, on the point of order that the hon member raised, I was aware that there was a lot of movement on my left-hand side. May I request the Whips to ensure that we maintain the decorum of the House, that when members leave the Chamber, they do so quietly and not disrupt the speaker at the podium. It's very difficult to follow what the speaker is saying when there is so much movement. So, let's just maintain the decorum and would just ask the assistance of all the Whips in this regard.
Debate concluded.
Question put: That the Bill be read a second time. Division demanded.
The House divided.
