Any Other Business The Llywydd reminded Business
Managers about party spokespeople taking too long to question Cabinet
Secretaries/Ministers on statements, and those Cabinet Secretaries/Ministers
taking too long in their responses. She
asked that Members were more concise to allow her to call as many Members as
possible. The Llywydd informed Business
Managers that she intends to put a paper on the agenda for next week’s meeting
proposing that party leaders should no longer be able to enter the ballot for
First Minister’s Questions, and that Business Managers may wish to discuss this
with their groups beforehand. The Llywydd informed Business Managers
that there might be a need for an additional Plenary meeting on Thursday or
Friday, between Commons and Lords ping pong on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill if a
vote on an LCM was required. |
