Vol. 255 No. 16

Order of Business.

It is proposed to take business in the following order: Nos. 1, 24, 7 and 25. Questions will be taken at 2.30 p.m.

At what time will questions end?

At 4 o'clock—2.30 to 4 p.m.

That will mean that all questions will not be finished.

But Deputies have the right to get written answers, if they want to.

Is it not normal to have questions until 5 p.m. on Thursday?

This is a full day's sitting. It would be normal to have questions continue until 5 p.m. if we were getting up at 5 p.m.

I understand there will be no questions tomorrow.

It would be normal in those circumstances to have them finished today.

No. There is no normality about this. I think it is reasonable. Deputies have the right to written answers.

That will deny Deputies the right to ask supplementaries and supplementaries can be very important.

We will say 2.30 to 4.30 p.m. Will that be all right?

What are the sitting days next week?

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning.

Wednesday and Thursday: Friday morning was not agreed.

I think Friday morning ought to be agreed.

There already has been a formal agreement.

Has there?

I will not break it then.

What is the proposal now?

Wednesday and Thursday.

Three to 10.30 p.m. on Wednesday and 10.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. on Thursday?
