September Sittings — 1 Nov 2006 at 18:25

The main motion was accepted as follows:
That this House welcomes the introduction of a procedure for the tabling and answering of written questions and the making of written ministerial statements during the summer adjournment, as adopted by the House on 24th July for the current session; accordingly reconsiders the part of its resolution of 29th October 2002 endorsing the proposal for September sittings; and is of the opinion that the House should not sit during September (except pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 13 (Earlier meeting of the House in certain circumstances)).- [Mr. Straw.]
The division was on this amendment, which was rejected:

Amendment proposed: leave out from 'should' to end and insert

'hold regular sittings for a period in September.'.- [Mr. Winnick.]

The House divided: Ayes 122, Noes 354.
