I call the Chief Whip under Standing Order 35 to move the arrangements for this week's business. Thursday's business shall be: - Statements on the Bessborough Development (not to exceed 2 hours and 25 minutes) Thursday evening business shall be the Second Stage of the Organisation of Working Time (Leave for Health Screening Purposes) Bill 2025, sponsored by Deputy Duncan Smith.
