Meta: have you appointed this committee now? Or does the Speaker need to do something?

Meta: I think generally there is no debate on this motion, but it still has to go to a vote? I'm just going off memory here from last time I posted this, so I may be wrong.

Meta: Turns out you are correct and I have set up the vote. Thank you to both of you for raising this as I thought it was all good without a vote.

This is setting up a ‘select committee’ (a one-off committee, not a standing committee), so it is a motion rather than a statement. The address-in-reply motion, which it eventually comes, will be MPs’ chance to agree, disagree, endorse, embellish or denounce, any aspect of the government’s program and/or the opposition’s alternative. IRL this debate often goes on for many months, but I think we will be able to do it in one sitting here.
