As with similar motions, the motion to appoint the Business Committee will be treated as a business motion, so there will be no debate.

Resolved (with cross-community support):

That the following shall be appointed to be Members of the Business Committee: The Speaker (ex officio); Ms Paula Bradshaw; Mr David Brooks; Mr Trevor Clarke; Mr Mark Durkan; Mr Tom Elliott; Mrs Sinéad Ennis; Miss Nuala McAllister; Mr Colin McGrath; Mr Philip McGuigan; and Mr John Stewart. — [Mr Poots.]

As there are Ayes from all sides of the House and only one No, from Mr Allister, I am satisfied that cross-community support has been demonstrated.
