House of Commons Sitting on Friday 22 March 2013 — 6 Mar 2013 at 20:12
The majority of MPs voted for the House of Commons to sit on Friday 22 March 2013 to enable a four day budget debate before a planned commons recess.
The motion approved by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
- That this House shall sit on Friday 22 March.
Andrew Lansley MP explained the purpose of his motion[1]:
- The motion adds a further sitting day and its effect will therefore be to allow the four-day Budget debate to take place, as well as to accommodate the opportunity for the Backbench Business Committee to schedule business, including the traditional pre-recess Adjournment debate, on the last day before recess.
- Sitting on an additional Friday would allow a continuation of the Budget debate but it would not be its last day, so there would be no requirement for Members to vote on that day.
