This Week's Business Minutes: Business Committee noted and agreed the following practical arrangements for legislative scrutiny this week: ·
relevant Members’ mics will be
active during periods when amendments are being moved formally and voted on, to
avoid delays; ·
for voting purposes, there will be
two separate meetings with different PINs on both days, and so Members will
need to log into the system twice; ·
on Tuesday, there will be a break
before the first vote in the Committee of the Whole Senedd, and a short break
between the Committee and the start of Plenary; and ·
on Wednesday, there will be a break
before the first vote in each Stage 3 proceeding, a short break between the
first Stage 3 and Oral Questions, and again before the Stage 3 on the Emergency
Bill. Tuesday ·
Plenary will start at the conclusion
of the Committee of the Whole Senedd proceedings for the Welsh Elections
(Coronavirus) Bill, which will start at 13.00. ·
Voting Time will take place after
the last item of business. Wednesday ·
Plenary will start at 13.00. ·
There will be no Voting Time, other
than during the two Stage 3 debates. ·
Plenary is unlikely to run
past 6.50pm. The
Llywydd informed Business Managers that she would be exercising her powers of
selection, to avoid Stage 3 of the emergency Bill being a re-run of Stage 2,
and encouraged Members not to re-table amendments which have been
comprehensively rejected at Stage 2. |
