House of Commons HOUSE OF COMMONS SESSIONAL DIARY 2013–14 8 May 2013 to 14 May 2014 Prepared in the Journal Office of the House of Commons INTRODUCTION 1. This diary records the business on which the House spent its time in Session 2013–14, analysed into categories, and similar information for sittings in Westminster Hall. It is intended mainly to provide information in response to statistical inquiries, and in using it the following points should be borne in mind: (a) The diary does not include business which took little or no time, such as presentations of bills, unopposed private business, and motions agreed to without debate or division. (b) Divisions are normally included with the business to which they relate. (c) Timings are taken from the Official Report, using the printed times where available, and otherwise taking a column of debate to last three minutes. Daily prayers are assumed to last a standard five minutes, unless stated otherwise (and are not itemised in the analysis). (d) Periods of suspension are included in the total sitting time, and are listed in section 14j of the analysis (Miscellaneous). However, the 2½-hour suspension from 11.30 to 14.00 in Westminster Hall on most Tuesdays and Wednesdays (introduced on 1 January 2003) is shown in brackets in the “Duration” column and is left out of the totals. Other suspensions in Westminster Hall are included in the totals and in the analysis under section 7. (e) The times in the column headed “After appointed time” refer to business taken after the time appointed as the “moment of interruption”. In Session 2013–14, these times were as follows: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 2200 *1900 *1900 1700 1430 * 2200 on the day of the State Opening of Parliament and immediately following a periodic adjournment. (f) All times are in hours and minutes, using the 24-hour clock. 2. A Sessional Diary has been kept in the Journal Office for most sessions since 1906, although in the early years times were kept only to the nearest quarter hour. An analysis substantially in the current form begins in the 1960s. The totals from the analysis have been reproduced in the Sessional Information Digest since 1984–85 and in the House’s Sessional Returns since 1987–88. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS AND TOTALS Part Contents Duration After Page appoin- ted time I Diary for House 1 II Analysis for House 1273.24 119.14 1.

    Donald Tusk President of the European Council Europa Building Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 B-1048 Bruxelles/Brussel Belgium 24 November 2018 Subject: The Draft Agreement of 14 November 2018 on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union Dear Mr Tusk On Saturday 20 October, 700,000 people from all parts of the UK marched in London to demonstrate their opposition to Brexit and their wish to remain at the heart of Europe. The people who came spanned the generations, from babies riding on their mothers’ shoulders to old people who struggled bravely to walk the route of the march. We write as a grassroots network linking many of the pro-European campaign groups which have sprung up all over the United Kingdom and beyond, and whose supporters were on that march. Our movement is growing rapidly, as more and more people living in the UK come to realise what Brexit means for us as individuals, for our country and for Europe as a whole. Arguably, the UK now has the largest and most passionate pro-EU supporter base in the whole of Europe! We wish to make you aware of the strength of feeling on this matter amongst the people of the United Kingdom. Millions of us want to retain the rights and freedoms granted to us under the EU Treaties and to continue to play a role at the heart of Europe. Brexit in any form would take away rights which we all hold as individuals, but we do not accept that these rights can be taken away without our consent.
