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 consideration of the heads of expenditure in the Estimates of Expenditure for FY2019/2020 in the Committee of Supply.

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 Committee of Supply for each of the allotted days.

Additionally, Members are notified that the sittings on the allotted days of 1 to 8 March will commence at 11.00 am.

The "guillotine" times I have fixed have been notified to hon Members. Order. The Clerk will now proceed to read the order of the day.
