The next item of business is consideration of business motion S2M-4633, in the name of Margaret Curran, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on suspension of standing orders. The motion follows discussions in yesterday's bureau and relates to tomorrow evening's members' business.
The reason for suspending standing orders and revising tomorrow's business is to allow a debate tomorrow morning on the legislative consent motion on the Compensation Bill, which was discussed in the context of the legislative statement that I made last week. I thank all members for their co-operation in scheduling the debate at short notice and, in the light of the work that he has done, I thank Des McNulty for agreeing to withdraw his motion for tomorrow's members' business debate. I hope that that co-operation will be picked up in the debate on the legislative consent motion.
Motion agreed to.
