A notice on the order paper may be withdrawn or postponed to a later date at the request of the Lord in whose name it stands but, except for oral questions and questions for short debate, no notice shall be advanced to an earlier date than that for which it had been set down, without the leave of the House obtained on a motion of which notice must be given in the order paper.
