I move:

That, for the sitting of the House on Monday 27 March 2006:

(1)
proceedings commence at 1 pm (instead of 12.30 pm), unless otherwise notified by the Speaker;
(2)
the timing of all existing arrangements for Government, House and private Members’ business that day be adjusted back 30 minutes such that Question Time commences at 2.30 pm but noting that Government business is to conclude by 9 pm and an adjournment debate then occur until 9.30 pm, unless otherwise determined on motion moved without notice by a Minister; and
(3)
the foregoing provisions of this resolution, so far as they are inconsistent with the standing and sessional orders, have effect notwithstanding anything contained in the standing and sessional orders.

Question agreed to.
