I move:

"That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to vindicate the rights of the child pursuant to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child."

The motion for leave to introduce the Bill is agreed. As this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time. Deputy Kathleen Lynch should therefore move that the Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time.
