Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Yesterday, the House agreed changes to Standing Orders relating to the advent of the new digital Order Paper. The changes codify current procedures in respect of the Order of Business and Questions on Promised Legislation. I can advise the House that the new title of the latter business will now be Questions on Policy or Legislation.

The title has been changed to take account of the nature of the item as it has evolved. In other words, we are copper-fastening what Deputies have been doing all the time, which is straying beyond discussing promised legislation. I ask them not to stray beyond the time limits, which are up to one minute, on our next business.
