Assembly Business – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 12:00 pm on 16 January 2017.
I beg to move
That Standing Order 20(1) be suspended for 16 January 2017.
Before we proceed to the Question, I must remind Members that the motion requires cross-community support.
Question put and agreed to. Resolved (with cross-community support):
That Standing Order 20(1) be suspended for 16 January 2017.
As there are Ayes from all sides of the House and no dissenting voices, I am satisfied that cross-community support has been demonstrated.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Given the suspension of Standing Order 20(1), can you confirm whether the Finance and Health Ministers will attend Question Time today?
I have received no correspondence and therefore have no role in that matter.
