The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée comme suit:-

I would briefly like to draw member's attention to a note on your desks from me about Order Paper motions and Resolutions.

I have been concerned in the past about the length of some motions that have been put on the Order Paper, and specifically about very long preambles in some of them.

As I say in the note on your desk, I think that the start of a new Session is a good time to draw members' attention to our rules about long preambles and recitals. Simply put, they are out of order and beginning today I am asking all members to comply with my direction to refrain from using these long preambles, and to frame your Order Paper motions consistent with the Standing Orders. I want to make it clear now, in fairness to all members, that I will remove out-of-order motions from the Order Paper. As always, the Table is available to assist with drafting advice and I encourage you to consult the Clerks if you have any questions.

With unanimous consent, the House reverted to "Motions".

Avec le consentement unanime, l'Assemblée revient à l'appel des «Motions».
