Hon members, I wish to thank parties for advising the Table staff of which Votes they will record their objections on and which they intend asking for a division on. This information will greatly assist us to complete this process this afternoon.
The proceedings will initially take the form of a question and answer session. I shall put each Vote in respect of which adjustments have been made. In turn, members will have the opportunity to put questions to the relevant Minister in respect of the adjustments. Each party has been allocated a global time for all Votes. Once the party's time has expired, it will not be allowed to put further questions. Members must please press the "To talk" button if they wish to ask a question. Hon members should please wait until I recognise them before putting the question.
Vote No 1 - The Presidency:
