I move:

That for Tuesday, 11 February 2025:

(1) standing order 33 (limit on business after normal time of adjournment) be suspended;

(2) so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following from occurring in relation to business:

(a) in the House, notwithstanding standing order 31, at 8 pm the adjournment debate being interrupted and government business having priority until:

(i) business concludes, if earlier than 10 pm;

(ii) 10 pm; or

(iii) a later time specified by a Minister;

at which point, the debate being adjourned and the House immediately adjourning until Wednesday, 12 February at 9 am; and

(b) in the Federation Chamber, when the grievance debate is adjourned, the Federation Chamber continuing to meet, with government business being given priority until the Federation Chamber adjourns; and

(3) any variation to this arrangement being made only on a motion moved by a Minister.

Question agreed to.
