The Secretary General further stated that the vote on the Bill is scheduled to be taken at 3.30 p.m. following the debate. Thereafter, from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., the debate on Motion at the Adjournment Time by the Opposition regarding “the need to provide farmers with guaranteed prices and to resolve the challenges they face” will be taken up.
It has also been decided that, as previously determined at the Committee on Parliamentary Business, the Mediation (Civil and Commercial Disputes) Bill, which was scheduled to be taken up tomorrow (for the Second Reading debate), will instead be taken up on a future date.
