Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28(4), this House resolves to further alter the Calendar for the Second Session (2018) as adopted on 4th February 2018 and amended on 1st March 2018 by proceeding to a recess from Thursday, 5th July 2018, at the rise of the House and resuming its regular sittings on Tuesday, 24th July 2018.

The other reason we are altering the Calendar is that the HBC is concerned that our short recess is only 10 days as opposed to 14 days. If this Motion is approved, it will allow Members more time to follow up with their constituents and matters of the NG-CDF and consult with their committees and prepare project proposals for the 2018/2019 Budget so that by the time we come back the NG-CDF Board will have an opportunity to approve. It will also ensure that as the year The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
