Mr Speaker
Before I call the Leader of the House, I can now formally announce the arrangements for the election of the Deputy Speakers. The ballot will be held on Tuesday 23 July between 10 am and 1.30 pm in Committee Room 8. Nominations must be submitted to the Table Office between 10 am and 5 pm on Monday 22 July. Nomination forms and an updated briefing note with information about the election are available in the Vote Office. I call the Leader of the House to move the motion on temporary Deputy Speakers.
Ordered,
That, for the period up to the first sitting day following the election of the Deputy Speakers under Standing Order No. 2A, Sir Edward Leigh be Chairman of Ways and Means, Dame Siobhain McDonagh be First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means and Sir Christopher Chope be Second Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means.—(Lucy Powell.)
