automatically or manually dropped?[edit]

What does this mean?

As a result, the second reading was postponed from 16 April until 23 July 1999. Due to the Crown's refusal to signify its consent to the bill, it was ultimately automatically dropped before it obtained its second reading.

Surely, it was automatically dropped immediately the Crown refused consent? If not, then is it not the case that Dalyell knew he had no option but to manually pull the bill before it's scheduled second appearance?

Put simply, how can it automatically be dropped even though they were able to move the 2nd reading? My guess is that Dalyell was going to keep putting the date back until he could get consent, but then gave up. Aaron McDaid (talk - contribs) 12:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you are right: the Bill could not proceed to Second Reading without Crown consent. The first time the order for Second Reading came up for debate, Dayell was there to propose a new date (Hansard, 16 April 1999). The second time the order for Second Reading came up, it seems that Dayell was not there to propose a new date, so it was dropped (Hansard, 23 July 1999). The next Weekly Information Bulletin (29 July 1999) then says: 1R: 26.1.99 (Dropped). All of these links were already in the article, but I have taken the opportuniuty to clarify.
