The Senior Deputy Speaker what is his estimate of the cost arising from the House sitting in September.
The planning assumption made by the House Administration each year is that there will be a sitting in September. Most activities are scheduled on that basis and costs of September sittings are factored into the original budgets.
On that basis, the main additional cost arising from the House sitting in September is an estimated £4k for cleaning and porterage at the end of maintenance and project works to prepare for the sitting and around £1k of staff overtime for the Parliamentary Maintenance Services Team.

My Lords, a couple of weeks ago I confirmed the dates of the conference Recess. Now might be a convenient point for me to inform the House of the proposed sitting dates for the remainder of the year, including sitting Fridays. In the customary fashion, a copy of these dates...

My Lords, it is very helpful that the noble Lord has given us this information. I have done a little research and those of your Lordships with grandchildren may just notice that they know where they stand in terms of sitting days and recesses
until July 2019. Now that we...

I note what the noble Lord has said. It is quite unusual to be able to go as far as we have today. If the noble Lord had researched this, he would discover that these recess dates coincide exactly with those of the House of Commons. We are trying to...

To ask the Leader of the House, when she plans to announce the dates for Friday sittings of the Commons for the 2017-19 session.
To ask the Leader of the House, when she plans to announce the dates for Friday sittings of the Commons for the 2017-19 session.
The hon. Gentleman may have seen that the dates for Friday sittings were announced on the 13 July 2017.
The hon. Member may recall that in the extended Parliamentary session of 2010-12, the Government did provide extra days but those dates were approved at a later date.
To ask the Leader of the House, whether she plans to provide additional days in proportion to the duration of the 2017-19 session for (a) Opposition, (b) Backbench and (c) Private Members' Bills business in the House.
To ask the Leader of the House, whether she plans to provide additional days in proportion to the duration of the 2017-19 session for (a) Opposition, (b) Backbench and (c) Private Members' Bills business in the House.
The allocation of Opposition Days is set down in Standing Orders. The hon. Member should also know that it is not unusual for Her Majesty’s Government to provide additional Opposition days.
As with Opposition Days, the allocation of Backbench Business days is set out in Standing Orders. Again, a motion to provide for additional time is not required. I am sure the hon. Member will acknowledge that in previous Parliaments, HMG provided additional time beyond the requirement of the Standing Orders. I am happy to consider any reasonable request for additional time for Backbench Business subject to the progress of Government business.
As mentioned in UIN 3021, the hon. Member may recall that in the extended Parliamentary session of 2010-12, the Government did provide extra days for Private Members’ Bills but those dates were approved at a later date.
I am grateful to the hon. Lady, and we will do our best to accommodate the problems that she has identified.

May I begin with an apology to Members of the House for my absence over recent weeks? I too add my thanks to Members, staff and security personnel for their activities yesterday. There is, though, one group of people we have forgotten about a little. Hundreds of members of the...
