Period of long adjournment.
(7) Notwithstanding Standing Order 27 (5), following a period of long adjournment, the second and third Members on the placement of Members to present Private Members’ business shall ensure that their item of business appears on the Order Paper by the fourth sitting day following the resumption of sittings, whether in a new Session or the same Session.
Exchanging or withdrawing place.

Such Bill shall be reinstated on the Order Paper in the next Session to its last stage of consideration at the time of prorogation, maintaining its order of precedence.
(2) A prorogation of the House shall not have the effect of nullifying a Private Member’s motion that has been moved but on which the question has not been put. Such motion shall be reinstated on the Order Paper in the next Session, maintaining its order of precedence.
