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The Bill has been Withdrawn. A bill may be withdrawn by the Member in charge after the question for its second reading (or other stages) has been proposed, provided that the question itself is first withdrawn and the Member has the floor. If there is any objection, the question cannot be withdrawn, and the stage concerned proceeds to a conclusion.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 A bill may also be withdrawn during its committee stage if the committee is first discharged from (further) consideration of the bill.
