Competition (Amendment) Bill 2007: First Stage.

  Deputy Emmet Stagg: I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to delimit the application of the [832] Competition Act 2002 to trade unions and trade union members and to certain agreements negotiated with public bodies, and to provide for related matters.

  An Ceann Comhairle: Is the Bill opposed?

  Deputy Tom Kitt: No.

Question put and agreed to.

  An Ceann Comhairle: Since this is a Private Members’ Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members’ time.

  Deputy Emmet Stagg: I move: “That the Bill be taken in Private Members’ time.”

Question put and agreed to.
