In respect of the motion on the war in Ukraine, this was discussed at the Business Committee last week and it was agreed that it would be put back to be considered by this week's Business Committee. This is coming completely out of the blue without any consultation with members of the Business Committee. We have not seen a motion and there is no to text in respect of that. I submitted amendments to the previous motion that was put forward. It appears that this is a Government motion. What is the situation? We do not even have the wording for this motion and we are expected to adopt it. That is just completely wrong. This is a cack-handed way for the Government to handle this.
