Parliamentary Bureau Motions
The next item of business is consideration of Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Mr McCabe to move motions S1M-1175 and S1M-1176, relating to tomorrow's business.
These are consequential motions. Motion S1M-1175 seeks to move decision time in Parliament tomorrow to 12:30. The only business that requires a vote will take place in the morning, and the suggestion is that it would be more convenient for members to vote at 12:30 in these unusual circumstances.
Motion S1M-1176 proposes to take members' business at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, as tomorrow's meeting will run longer than normal. In addition, if the chamber agrees, a further motion will be required to suspend standing orders to allow members' business to be separated from decision time.
I move,
That the Parliament agrees under Rule 11.2.4 of the Standing Orders that Decision Time on Thursday 14 September 2000 shall begin at 12.30 pm.
That the Parliament agrees that Rule 5.6.1(c) of Standing Orders be suspended for the purpose of taking members' business on Thursday, 14 September 2000 at 2.00 pm.
No one has asked to speak against those motions, so I shall take them as read and we will vote on them at decision time.
