Amendment summary
Baroness Smith of Basildon moved that Standing Order 38(1) (Arrangement of the Order Paper) be dispensed with on Wednesday 22 October and Wednesday 29 October to enable Report stage of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill to begin before oral questions on those days. Then Lord True moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to end and to insert “given no persuasive case has been put for systematically abandoning the usual conventions governing the sitting times of the House, the House should meet at 3pm on Wednesday 22 and Wednesday 29 October and consideration of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill should begin after oral questions on those days; and that the House should continue normally to sit at the customary times, as set out in the Companion to the Standing Orders.”
