Hi Everyone
We are DOT and we are on MSE to update people on business which takes place within the House of Commons which may be of specific interest to MSEers. Often we’re able to highlight work that might not be covered in the media and that the public is not necessarily aware is going on.
We usually update on aspects of business related to defence in other places, but thought you might be interested in the following debate which will be taking place this afternoon:
The debate will be streamed live on Parliament.tv Player (Windows Media Player or Silverlgiht are required to stream Parliament TV)
Adjournment Debate - Terms of employment for reserve service personnel
Thursday 27th June, scheduled to start at 6pm.
The debate is expected to focus on the topic of securing guaranteed employment rights for Armed Forces Reserves.
Transcripts of proceedings in the House of Commons Chamber are available three hours after they happen in Today's Commons Debates
We can post up a summary of the debate tomorrow if this would be of interest to Armed Forces MSEers?
About Adjournment Debates inside the Chamber of the House of Commons:
There is a half-hour adjournment debate at the end of each day’s sitting. Members apply for an adjournment debate to the Speakers Office. Subject matters of adjournment debates are varied; examples include debates on defence issues, pensions and combating benefit fraud. The Speaker chooses Thursday’s subject; for other days, MPs are selected by ballot.
The MP who tabled the relevant adjournment debate is called to speak and a Minister will reply. The MP has no right of response, but can intervene in the Minister’s speech if he or she is willing to allow it (called ‘giving way’).
Thanks DOT
