The programme for Government contains a commitment to reform the way the Government is run. For the past two weeks, Deputies, ushers and other staff have been facing late night sittings, potentially to 11 p.m. and midnight. Those sittings were changed back to 9 p.m., however. When we come to the end of term before recesses in future, will the Government consider properly planning the legislation it wants to introduce?
