Given this morning’s suspension, the House may wish to note that today’s planned meeting of the Business Committee will now take place at 1.00 pm. The sitting will continue until that time.

Before proceeding to the next item on the Order Paper, I wish to draw the attention of the House to the point of order made yesterday by Lord Morrow about Members not being in their places when the Speaker is standing. I said yesterday that I would raise the matter with the Business Committee, and I will do so later today. For now, I simply draw the attention of the House to the importance of Chamber etiquette in ensuring that business proceeds smoothly and in a dignified manner.
