Just to be able to get the appropriations bills back from the Federation Chamber, so that we can deal with them later in the day, I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent paragraph (3) of the resolution agreed to on 28 May 2026 for the consideration of Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2026-2027 and related Appropriation Bills being amended to read as follows:

"(3) any questions necessary to complete consideration in the Federation Chamber of each of the bills being put immediately without debate, and if consideration of any of the bills has not been completed in the Federation Chamber by 1.30 pm on 4 June 2026, the bills standing referred to the House".

We support the motion, but we would note that we wouldn't be in this situation if we hadn't had this gigantic gagging through divisions going on. But we support it.

Question agreed to, with an absolute majority.
