On indulgence, Mr Speaker: I am just wondering if the Leader of the House could give us an indication of the new sitting schedule some time earlier than Friday, given that a number of members will probably have to change flights.

It is intended that the motions to change standing orders will be put on notice today so that the opposition will have the full ability to peruse them. Included in that will be the new sitting schedule, but all the arrangements will be those which were outlined in writing by me to the Leader of the Opposition in a very well written letter last Friday.
