to the following changes: Tuesday
The Trefnydd
requested the Business Committee’s agreement to schedule a debate on an LCM on
the Energy Prices Bill on Wednesday 19 October, with a suspension of Standing
Orders to enable the debate to take place. The request was agreed in light of
the accelerated timetable for the passage of the Bill at Westminster, with the
Bill have been introduced on 12 October and an intended date of Royal Assent on
25 October. As a result of the lack of time available, Business Committee
agreed not to refer the LCM for committee scrutiny. Consequently,
the following items have been added to Wednesday’s agenda:

Westminster, Business Committee concluded that it is currently not possible for

be willing to revisit the timetable for scrutiny of the LCM. |
