The Leader stated the business of the House would be interrupted " some time between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m." Can he be more specific?

I can definitely order that it be taken at 9.50 p.m., with the agreement of the House.

For reasons of clarity, at what time is Second Stage of the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Bill 2009 due to conclude?

It is due to conclude at 6.30 p.m., with the Minister to be called at 6.20 p.m. for concluding comments. As I understand it, there will be a vote, followed by a sos from 6.40 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.
