Originally published by South Lincolnshire Liberal Democrats
The main agenda for the 2016 Autumn Conference in Brighton has now been published online. This year, for the first time, the conference will begin at 9am on the Saturday, 17th September. It will end, as usual, with the Leader's speech, which is expected to finish by 3.30pm on Tuesday, 20th September.
The deadline for amendments, emergency motions, requests for topical discussions and for online questions to Federal Committees, Parliamentary Parties and the Leader's and Education Q&As is 1pm on Monday 5th September. That is also the deadline for submitting requests for separate votes on motions that are being debated on the Saturday. For debates on other days the deadline for separate votes is 9am on the day before the debate. You can also submit late questions to the Speakers' table at conference - see the agenda for individual deadlines.
If you would like drafting advice in advance for amendments, emergency motions and topical discussions (which is advisable, though not always possible with emergency motions) then they should be submitted by 1pm on Monday 22nd August.
