During the first reading only short title is read by the clerk. During second reading there is a wide debate in general application and desirability of measure. Second reading normally takes place on the floor of the House but certain public Bills are referred to Second Reading Committee for consideration in principle. After it the Bill is referred to Standing Committee for detailed examination. Third reading takes place when a Bill is reported from the Committee of the whole House without amendment or when the consideration of a Bill, as amended, is concluded. After the third reading the Bill is reviewed in its final form with amendments earlier made. No debate may takes place.
