My apologies, I sat down prematurely. I propose two amendments to the Order of Business, as announced, that the proceedings on Committee and Remaining Stages of the Pyrite Resolution Bill 2013 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 5 p.m. by one question which shall be put from the Chair and which shall, in relation to amendments, include only those set down by the Government and that the proceedings on Report and Final Stages of the Water Services (No. 2) Bill 2013 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 7.30 p.m. by one question which shall be put from the Chair and which shall, in relation to amendments, include only those set down by the Government.
