for former Speaker of the House David Wilkinson, who died suddenly last week.
But the Opposition Progressive Labour Party will reply to Government's blueprint for the Parliamentary session before the 3 p.m. rising of the House to allow MPs to attend Mr. Wilkinson's funeral.
The PLP dissection of the Throne Speech will open the first business day of the House this session.
Premier Pamela Gordon will kick off Government's view of the PLP reply, most likely followed by Finance Minister Grant Gibbons and Tourism Minister David Dodwell, if time allows.
Government Whip Rick Spurling said last night that the House will adjourn until Monday morning when the expected marathon debate will resume.
If necessary, the House will meet again on Wednesday.
