HOUSE OF COMMONS

SESSIONAL DIARY 2005–06

11 May 2005 to 8 November 2006

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 2005–06, 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 (and are not itemised in the analysis), and the time at which the House rose is taken from the Votes and Proceedings.

(d) Periods of suspension are included in the total sitting time, and are listed in section 14h 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 5.

(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 2005–06, these times were as follows:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 2200 2200 *1900 1800 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.
