Urgent Debates — Consideration of Application for Urgent Debate—Leave to Defer
← Ministerial Statements — Electricity Supply—Power Outages
Petitions, Papers, Select Committee Reports, and Introduction of Bills →
Time unknown
I have received applications for an urgent debate. The Business Committee has determined that a special debate be held on the Dawn Raids after oral questions today. An urgent debate is part of the general business of the House, which takes place in sequence, commencing at 2 p.m. each sitting day. General business takes precedence; so any urgent debate would normally be held before the special debate. However, there is significant public interest and interest in the House in the special debate. Therefore, I seek the leave of the House to consider applications for the urgent debate at the conclusion of the special debate. Is there any objection to that? There appears to be none.
