The Routine of Business in the Legislative Assembly is conducted according to Standing Order 97, which was last amended on 17 January 2022. The Sessional Order sets out a timetable for the order of business to be considered by the House over three consecutive week days. Government Business is conducted on every sitting day, and General Business is considered on sitting Thursdays.
