It takes place without debate, and the first reading of a bill can occur anytime in a parliamentary session. The significance of this stage lies in the fact that it marks the formal introduction of the bill to the Parliament, setting the stage for further discussions and debates.

This Bill has been withdrawn. A bill may be withdrawn by the Member in charge after the question for its second reading (or other stages) has been proposed, provided that the question itself is first withdrawn and the Member has the floor. If there is any objection, the question cannot be withdrawn, and the stage concerned proceeds to a conclusion. A member who is not in charge of the bill can withdraw the motion for second reading, with leave, but not the bill itself. A bill may also be withdrawn during its committee stage if the committee is first discharged from further consideration of the bill.
