Debated in Parliament on 11 Feb 2019.
Mr Speaker, I beg to move, "That, notwithstanding the Standing Orders, the Motion on 'Ageing with Purpose' and the Motion on 'Support for Caregivers', appearing on today's Order Paper, be taken jointly and the debate on these Motions be proceeded with simultaneously as though the debate were on a single Motion".
Mr Speaker, as the subject matter on these two Motions listed as items 6 and 7 on today's Order Paper are interrelated and the issues are interdependent, this Business Motion will allow Members to speak on both Motions at the same time and address all concerns in a single speech. Members can put forth their views over the full range of issues and debate in a more holistic manner. It will also allow the Ministers to give comprehensive replies in a single speech, taking into account the closely connected issues. At the end of the debate, Members will be able to vote on the two Motions separately. Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move.
Question put, and agreed to.
Resolved, "That, notwithstanding the Standing Orders, the Motion on 'Ageing with Purpose' and the Motion on 'Support for Caregivers' appearing on today's Order Paper, be taken jointly and the debate on these Motions be proceeded with simultaneously as though the debate were on a single Motion".
