COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY (Estimates of Expenditure) (Announcement by Mr Speaker)

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY:

(Estimates of Expenditure) (Announcement by Mr Speaker) Mr Speaker: Order. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of Standing Order 89, I have fixed the times for the conclusion of consideration of the heads of expenditure in the Estimates of Expenditure for FY 2004/2005 in the Committee of Supply.

In fixing these times, I have taken into account the motion which the Leader of the House proposes to move that Saturday, 13th March 2004, be a sitting day, and that the sitting times of the Committee of Supply be extended for each of the allotted days, which are subject to the approval of the House.

Column: 757

Additionally, I have notified Members that the sittings on the allotted days commence at 11.00 am, which means that the sitting times of the Committee of Supply will be extended by three hours for each of the allotted days.

The "guillotine" times I have fixed have been notified to hon. Members and will appear in the Official Report*.
