I move:

I move:

That the committee have leave to sit again at a later hour of the day.

Question agreed to.

I seek leave to move a motion relating to divisions being called today.

Leave granted.

I move:

That divisions may take place after 4.30 pm today.

We have become aware that the motion moved this morning contained a technical oversight in that standing orders provide for no divisions and no quorums after 4.30 pm on Thursday, which is standing order 57(3). As a consequence, that order still stands. This means that no divisions can take place today if a motion is moved and a division is called. The chair would then move that the division shall be moved to the next day of sitting, which is Friday, 26 November.
