§ 4.8 pm
§ Madam SpeakerI have a short statement to make about arrangements for the debate on the motion for the Adjourment which will follow the passing of the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill on Thursday 9 July.
Hon. Members should submit their subjects to my office not later than 10 pm on Tuesday 7 July. A list showing the subjects and times will be published the following day. Normally, the time allotted will not exceed one and a half hours, but I propose to exercise a little discretion to allow one or two debates to continue for rather longer, up to a maximum of three hours.
Where identical or similar subjects have been entered by different hon. Members whose names are drawn in the ballot, only the first name will be shown on the list. As some debates may not last the full time allotted to them, I remind hon. Members that it is their responsibility to keep in touch with developments if they are not to Miss their turn.
