I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the National Archives Act 1986 by providing for the transfer to the National Archives of Departmental records which are more than 15 years old; to make consequential amendments to other statutes; 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.

It is a bit strange seeing that we do not have any Private Members' time.
