David Norris (Independent)

I do not agree with motion No. 1. I propose that it be removed from the Order Paper on the basis that there is no Order of Business and no provision for an Adjournment debate. On that basis I will be opposing the Order of Business. It is an extraordinary abrogation of democracy. We have no Order of Business. One of the most significant items of the day is being removed. There are also no debates on the Adjournment. The Labour Party did not even bother to table a motion for Private Members' time and did not hand it over to anybody else.
