Sessional Information Digest: 1996-97
Standing Order No 20 allows Members to suggest that a specific and important matter should have urgent consideration and that an emergency debate be held upon it. It is for the Speaker to decide whether the matter is sufficiently specific, important and urgent to warrant giving it precedence, and among other things to have regard to the probability of the matter being brought before the House by other means; the Chair in general gives leave very seldom. During the 1996-97 Session, there were 6 unsuccessful applications.
The total number of divisions during the Session was 99
