Sessional Diary 2008–09 HOUSE OF COMMONS SESSIONAL DIARY 2008–09 3 December 2008 to 12 November 2009 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 2008–09, 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 2008–09, 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. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS AND TOTALS Part Contents Duration After Page appointed time I Diary for House 2 II Analysis for House 1053.51 84.19 1.

  • Final Season Service
    Recognising those whose generous donations at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels helped fund XH558’s final WALL OF HONOUR season service, allowing her to continue to be the world’s last flying Vulcan. 2014/15 Winter servicing: 1) Reinstalling engine 620392 in the number 3 position. This engine had been removed in 2008 due to a higher than permitted metal debris count in its oil. In collaboration with Marshall Aerospace and Rolls- Royce the Trust instigated a programme to attempt recovery. Having changed two gearboxes thought to be possible sources of the debris particles, the engine would be put through a thorough testing regime. 2) The exhaust end caps are removed for examination, and to access the jet pipes. 3) The first of four jets pipes to be removed and checked over. Here Steve Hands, Ray Watts, Rick Lee and Mark Brown take a well-earned rest after removing the jet pipe onto the special trolley stand. 4-5) Lifting the cockpit canopy to access the crew ejector seats for servicing. 6) Steve Hands strips and resprays some panels, with the primed canopy ready for repainting seen in the background. 7) Ray Watts carries out inspections on all the engine connections. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8) With the aircraft on jacks undercarriage retraction is tested.
