I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 4 be taken now on conclusion of this item and adjourned after two hours, if not previously concluded, and that No. 5 be taken on conclusion of No. 4 and adjourned after two hours, if not previously concluded." My proposal is to avoid a gap in the schedule and Ministers are available now. I propose that the housing Bill starts now and the debate lasts two hours.

Is that agreed?
Has the proposal been agreed between the Whips? I do not know whether the spokesperson is aware of the proposal.
It is in response to something Senator O'Donovan had asked.
That is fine. I just have not spoken to a spokesperson. Are they available now? I presume they are.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
