Scope note
  • In addition to being a subject term, this is added to contributions as a procedural term when the Speaker/Chair names a (new) limit in numbers of minutes. The content type Speaker's rulings is also added. If the Speaker/Chair issues a reminder of a time limit that they have already announced in a previous contribution, there is no need to index this with this term or as a Speaker’s Ruling.
Definition
  • The Speaker may announce that he intends to call Members to speak in a debate, or at certain times during that debate, for no longer than any period he may specify.
