  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  
  <p>The Aye-voters successfully carried the motion for the <a href="http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2007-08/europeancommunitiesfinance.html">European Communities (Finance) Bill</a>
  to be given its <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/glossary/?gl=24">Second Reading</a>. This is the most important stage for a Bill as it is when the main purpose of a Bill is discussed and voted on.</p>
  
  <p>It was argued that the Bill was good for Britain because âit not only preserves our rebate but will see it rise in value during the next six years.â It was also suggested that the Bill would âhelp to pay for European enlargement.â</p>
