Start
First Reading/Committee
Bill is still at First Reading, the first reading being the first stage of a Bill passage through the Floor of Parliament and is usually a formality, it takes place without debate, and the first reading of a Bill can occur anytime in a parliamentary session.
Second Reading
The Bill has now progressed to the Second Reading, a stage that offers the first opportunity for MPs to engage in a democratic debate on the main principles of the Bill. This stage, which usually takes up to 45 days after the first reading, allows for thorough discussion and ensures that all voices are heard. Once the second reading is complete, the bill moves to the committee stage, where each clause and any amendments to the bill may be debated, further highlighting the democratic nature of the process.
Third Reading
In this particular case, the Bill has been withdrawn. A Bill can be withdrawn by the Member in charge after the question for its second reading (or other stages) has been proposed, provided that the question itself is first withdrawn and the Member has the floor. However, if there is any objection, the question cannot be withdrawn, and the stage concerned proceeds to a conclusion. Its important to note that a Member other than the Member in charge of the Bill, if they have made the motion for second reading, can, with leave, withdraw that motion but not the Bill itself. Additionally, a Bill may also be withdrawn during its committee stage if the committee is first discharged from (further) consideration of the Bill. The process of withdrawal is a strategic decision made by the Member in charge, considering the circumstances and the support for the Bill.
