It is my understanding that the debate has to be adjourned because no question is being put. If no question is being put the debate cannot be concluded and the debate adjourns when everybody who wishes to speak has spoken. Maybe the Government Whip or someone who has been in this House for longer than I have can clarify this but I understand this is the reason the word "adjourn" is on the agenda, not the word "conclude". If there are people who wish to speak, they need to speak. If they do not speak, it is not on the agenda for next week. I ask for clarification that the reason the debate is scheduled to adjourn is that no question is being put.
