Who decides the Parliaments programme of business?
The Parliaments programme of business is proposed by the Parliamentary Bureau in the form of a business motion. This business motion sets out the proposed programme of business at meetings of the Parliament for a specified period (usually two weeks). This business motion has to be agreed at a meeting of the Parliament and any changes to it also require the agreement of the Parliament. Once it has been agreed by the Parliament, the business programme is published in Section B of the Business Bulletin.
