Oral Assembly Questions Minutes: Business
Managers confirmed their decision to reduce the number of OAQs that appear on
the Plenary agenda from 15 to 12, and to update the Guidance on the Proper
Conduct of Assembly business accordingly. They
also agreed to propose the change to Standing Order 12.63 to make permanent the
reduction in the number of times a Member may enter the ballot for Ministerial
OAQs from twice to once, and to lay a report to this effect. Business
Managers are content for Members to continue to be able to table two OAQs to
the Counsel General in his law officer role. They
also agreed to reduce the number of Members selected in the initial ballot from
20 to 16, and to update the Guidance on the Proper Conduct of Assembly business
accordingly. |
