– in the House of Commons at 10:30 am on 20 May 2010.
I remind the House that I will be in the Chair today until 12.30 pm and from 1.30 pm for as long as there are Members wishing to take the oath this afternoon. In view of the progress that we made yesterday, I do not think it will be necessary for me to come back at 4.30 pm. There will be further opportunities for Members to take the oath at 2.30 pm on Monday and at 2.15 pm on Tuesday. Will Members wishing to take their seats please come to the Table?
