Business of the House (Today)

Wednesday 6th July 2011 Commons Chamber

Motion made, and Question proposed,

That Standing Order No. 54 (Consideration of estimates) be applied to proceedings at this day’s sitting as if paragraph (2) were omitted.—(Sir George Young.)

13:40

[Sir Alan Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed) (LD)]

Will the Leader of the House confirm that, because the following motion will reduce the time available for the estimates debates tabled by Select Committees, an opportunity will be provided to debate the Prevent strategy—likely to be the one squeezed out today—at a later date?

[The Leader of the House of Commons (Sir George Young)]

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for that question and I can give him that assurance. He is entitled to injury time and it will be provided.

Question put and agreed to.
