Order of Business
The Leader schedules statements on youth justice policy and announces a forthcoming debate on the charities sector.
The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on youth justice policy, to be taken at 3.45 p.m. and conclude not later than 5.45 p.m., with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be called on to reply to the debate not later than 5.35 p.m.
For the information of the House, I advise that there will be a debate with the Minister for Justice and Equality next Tuesday on the charities sector. This is a debate for which many Members have called in the past few weeks. I also advise that a motion will be brought before both Houses tomorrow on the extension of the reporting deadline for the Constitutional Convention to 31 March. I will seek the agreement of the House that the motion be taken without debate tomorrow, as it is only a technical matter.
