With a cut to the House of Commons for the leaders of the parties and the MPs who violate the speech times, the new parliamentary period is expected to begin next October.
As Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis told parliamentary authors, the necessary software has already been installed and the latest technical work is left to become fully operational.
Amendments to Parliament’s Rules of Procedure will follow and, as a senior parliamentary source said, “there will be a slight increase in about 2 minutes in the predicted speeches. But for anyone who goes beyond the projected time the microphone will close automatically. “
