The next point of order was a point of order regarding the scheduling of oral questions and Standing Order 34.18. The Deputy Presiding Officer responded at the time, last week, and I want to update Members following the Business Committee meeting held on Monday. Business managers agreed that I continue with the practice of disapplying the requirements of Standing Order 12.56. No oral questions will be scheduled, but as Members are aware, topical questions will be reintroduced from next week onwards.

The Business Committee continues to review the organisation of business on a weekly basis. I am grateful for Members' understanding as we continue to enable this Assembly to carry out its functions during these unprecedented times.
