Order of Business
11:00 am

It contains only 15 sections. Its content has been known since the budget was announced. A total of 13 hours has been provided for debate on the Bill, 7.5 for the Second Stage debate and 5.5 hours for Committee and Remaining Stages. I understand that the Whip will meet following the Order of Business to discuss with the Opposition spokespersons a timetable in regard to the taking of the different sections, which is a sensible way of allocating the time. The amount of time allocated for debate on the Bill is adequate to deal with a Bill of 15 sections.
