take in the coming three weeks. It should be read together with the formal Order Paper produced by
the Clerk of the Parliaments, available from the Printed Paper Office and www.parliament.uk/lords

times are maximums: business may take less time than the maximum

around 7.30pm or 1.30pm but may start earlier or later

of the session are offered time before members who have already asked a QSD this session. The
slots available are the dinner breaks on most Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and end of
business on Thursdays (though other business, mainly motions in opposition to SIs, competes
for this time) and on occasion in Grand Committee. In addition, the Grand Committee meets for
a day of up to five 1 hour QSDs at least for every six sitting weeks: the Grand Committee will
meet for that purpose on 23 July. Further dates will be advertised in due course. To see the
Whips’ Office progress in scheduling QSDs, visit www.lordswhips.org.uk.
