I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the protection of agency workers, to require the principle of equal treatment to be applied in respect of their employment, to make provision for the enforcement of the rights, and to provide for connected matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time. I call on Deputy Penrose to move that Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time.
