Standing Order 16 is very clear to all Members. The proposal for the arrangements for the day are put forward by the Leader. A vote of the House is required to amend or change that. If Members wish to speak to the Leader, that is their prerogative. If the Leader or a representative of the Leader chooses to bring a proposal to the House, it is the House's decision to make.
