We now turn to a free debate. Members may, so long as they do so within the parliamentary procedure, make a statement to this place on whatever topic they so wish. Members are encouraged to debate others' statements as well as make their own.

For instance, a member may make a statement on the merits of devolving energy to this place, and another member may respond to that with a counter. Simultaneously, another member may speak on the downsides of tuition fees as their own statement, to which other members may respond.

There are no limits to what can be debated, though members are requested to not make an excessive amount of statements and to keep it relevant to this place.

This debate shall end at 10pm GMT on Sunday 5th October.
