This proposed sitting pattern was circulated a week ago. It has taken into account, as much as anybody can find, all the conflicting dates. So, with one amendment, it should be satisfactory to members.

Ms Tucker has pointed out today-I have not checked but I believe it to be the case-that two weeks have normally been allowed for discussion of estimates in the budget. The draft does not allow for that. It seems a sensible idea to continue that arrangement and the government is quite prepared to accept Ms Tucker's amendment that has been circulated and that you should all have seen. So with that, I will leave the 2002 sitting pattern in the hands of members.

MS TUCKER (12.22): I move:

Mr Cornwell: Could I ask why?

MS TUCKER: Mr Wood just explained why, but I am happy to repeat it. I have suggested that we omit the sittings of 17, 18 and 19 September and take it back to August because, as the motion stands, we would only have one week to deal with estimates and then pass the budget, and we normally allow a week for each.

Amendment agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.
