I move:

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent:

(1) the Selection Committee:

(a) meeting on or after today, if necessary by teleconference, to determine the order of consideration of matters and the times allotted for debate on each item and for each Member speaking, for private Members’ business and committee and delegation business, for Monday 12 September 2016;

(b) communicating its determinations to all Members of the House prior to that Monday; and

(c) reporting its determinations to the House following Prayers on Monday 12 September 2016;

(2) the Selection Committee’s determinations being shown in the Notice Paper for that Monday under ‘Business Accorded Priority’ for the House and Federation Chamber; and

(3) in the absence of a fully constituted Selection Committee, the arrangements for private Members’ business for Monday 12 September 2016 provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this resolution being determined by the Speaker, Chief Government Whip and Chief Opposition Whip.

Question agreed to.
