As Members will be aware, we have sent out information on today's business. The Whips worked together and sent in the list. That is the order in which speakers will be called. There are 21 slots. The reason there are 21 slots is that there are 21 seats available in the Chamber for Members to speak from. Out of an abundance of caution, we want to make sure, as best we can, that there is no possibility of people contracting Covid-19. We will be reviewing this on an ongoing basis but that is why we are doing it in this particular order and why Members have been allocated specific seats for today's sitting.
