That being the case, it allows us to move to a preliminary matter of procedure.

As this is a Bill to amend the Constitution, in accordance with precedent and Standing Order 184, the Schedule to the Bill will be taken out of sequence, given that the schedule contains substantive elements of the proposed amendment to the Constitution. The proposed sequence of the elements of the Bill is as follows: Section 1; Schedule; Section 2; Preamble; and Title. Accordingly, immediately following the disposal of the first section of the Bill, I will ask the Minister to formally move that consideration of section 2 be postponed until the Schedule shall have been disposed of.
