Unless there is any objection, I propose to put the three Standing Order amendments as one Question.

Ordered,

That Standing Order No. 60 (Constitution of standing committees) be amended as follows: Paragraph (2), after 'business)', insert 'or measures under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and instruments made under such measures?.

That Standing Order No. 62 (Nomination of standing committees) be amended as follows: Paragraph (1), after 'business)', insert 'or measures under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and instruments made under such measures'.

That Standing Order No. 73A (Standing Committee on Statutory Instrument, &c.) be amended as follows: Paragraph 3(ii), after 'motion', insert 'to the effect'.

At end add— ?(6) The provisions of this Order shall apply to measures under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and instruments made under such measures as if such measures and such instruments were statutory instruments; and the notice referred to in paragraph 3(ii) of this Order may, in respect of such measures and instruments, have been given by any Member.'.—[Mr. Coleman.]
