Sessional orders: business of the house
Voting yes supported adopting a sessional order that temporarily suspends certain standing orders, so ministers can list government notices and orders of the day in their preferred order from 1 April 2025.
The question put
That the following sessional order be adopted, to come into operation from 1 April 2025: ‘18 Order of government business So much of standing orders 146, 148(1) and 150 are suspended to allow, on days on which government business has precedence, ministers to list government notices of motion and orders of the day at the head of the list on the notice paper in whatever order they wish. Government notices and orders are then dealt with in the order they are listed on the notice paper. After a government notice or order has been disposed of, the Speaker will either call the minister to move the next notice of motion or direct the Clerk to read the next order of the day, as appropriate.’
