I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to protect the health of persons who may be affected by noise and shadow flicker from wind turbines; to give further effect to the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters done at Aarhus, Denmark on 25 June 1998; and to provide for related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
