HC Deb 29 October 2002 vol 391 c688 3.44 pm
Mr. Speaker

Before I call a Minister to move motion No. 2, it may be helpful to indicate to the House how the debate will proceed on the modernisation and procedure motions that are before us today. Assuming that the business of the House motion is agreed to, I propose to allow a general debate covering motions Nos. 3 to 13 together. At 10 pm, we will then go through the motions in order. On each motion, we will vote first on the amendments that I have selected, and then on the motion itself, amended or not as the case may be.

I remind the House that the scope of debate on the business of the House motion is limited to the procedural arrangements for the main debate.
