Westminster Hall Sitting of 1 May 2003

Preamble
[SYLVIA HEAL in the Chair]

The Financing of Terrorism in Northern Ireland
[Relevant documents: Fourth Report from the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee, Session 2001–02, HC 978-I, and the Government's response thereto, Sixth Special Report, Session 2001–02, HC 1347.]
Motion made, and Question proposed, That the sitting be now adjourned.—[Derek Twigg.]
2.30 pm
Mr. Michael Mates: I am happy to agree to this adjournment in the special circumstances that we are needed elsewhere. I shall raise a point of order in the Chamber after questions to try to ensure that we have a system that does not put us all in the position of having to adjourn a debate that could more easily be postponed until the important statement is over. In the circumstances, I am happy to agree with the Government's motion.
Question put and agreed to.
Adjourned accordingly at half-past Two o'clock.
