§ Question accordingly agreed to.
§ Ordered,
§ That, from the next Session of Parliament until the end of the first Session of the next Parliament, the Standing Orders and practice of the House shall have effect subject to the modifications set out below:
§ A. (1) The House shall meet on Thursdays at half-past Eleven o'clock, and will first proceed with private business, motions for unopposed returns and questions;
§ (2) proceedings on business on Thursdays shall be interrupted at Seven o'clock; and
§ (3) in their application to Thursday sittings of the House, reference to a specified time in the Standing Orders shall be interpreted as reference to a time three hours before the time so specified, save that reference to half-past Ten o'clock shall be substituted for reference to Twelve o'clock in Standing Order No. 24 (Adjournment on a specific and important matter that should have urgent consideration).
§ B. Standing committees shall have leave to sit at any hour and notwithstanding any adjournment of the House, subject to the following provisions:
- (a) on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays when the House is sitting, no standing committee sitting at Westminster shall sit between the hours of One o'clock and half-past Three o'clock, except as provided in paragraph (2) of Standing Order No. 88 (Meetings of standing committees); and
- (b) on Thursdays when the House is sitting, no standing committees sitting at Westminster shall sit between the hours of twenty-five minutes past Eleven o'clock and half-past Twelve o'clock, except as provided in paragraph (2) of Standing Order No. 88 (Meetings of standing committees) with the substitution in that paragraph of 'twenty-five minutes past Eleven o'clock' for 'One o'clock' and 'twenty minutes to Twelve o'clock' for 'a quarter past One o'clock'.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Alan Haselhurst)I call for motion 3 to be moved formally—
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerI hope that the right hon. Gentleman is not anticipating what I am going to say.
§ Mr. ForthI am trying to find out whether I am anticipating what you are going to say, Mr. Deputy Speaker—[Laughter.] For the avoidance of doubt, I wanted to establish whether you would allow the amendments standing in my name and that of my right hon. Friend the Member for Penrith and The Border (Mr. Maclean) to be put to the vote.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerThere was never a doubt in my mind. It is my understanding that the right hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth) will move amendment (b) formally.
