I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide that certain convictions may be regarded as spent for certain purposes where the convicted person has not been convicted of any other offence within specified periods of years, 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.
