Business of the House

My hon. Friend is right. It does appear from the calendar that the House will not be sitting on any Friday after, I believe, June. He should, however, note the small print at the bottom of the calendar, which states:"““Please note that all dates are provisional””." It is indeed the case that the House will sit on some Fridays beyond June 2011, and the calendar may well be updated at a later date to include extra Fridays. However, they will be within what I might call the ““brown envelope”” that appears on the calendar. We will not suggest that the House should sit on Fridays in the middle of recesses.
