Time Allocation for Committee of Supply

Mr Speaker: Order. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of Standing Order 92, I have fixed the times for the conclusion of the Heads of Expenditure in the Estimates of Expenditure for financial year (FY) 2018/2019 in the Committee of Supply (COS).

In fixing these times, I have taken into account the reduction of Question Time to 30 minutes on the days allotted for the COS debates and the extension of Sitting times of the COS for each of the allotted days.

Additionally, Members are notified that the Sittings on the allotted days of 1 March to 8 March will commence at 10.00 am.

The "guillotine" times I have fixed have been notified to hon Members. Order. Questions for Oral Answer.
