unreferenced date March 2009 In the Westminster system , an adjournmentdebate is a debate on the motion, That this House do now adjourn. In practice, this is a way of enabling the House to have a debate on a subject without considering a substantive motion. Types of debate There are generally two types of adjournmentdebate those proposed by the Government, which are used from time to time to permit general debates on topical subjects e.g. flooding and coastal defences, regional affairs or International Women s Day and the half hour adjournment at the end of each day s sitting. The half hour adjournment is an opportunity for a backbencher backbench Member of Parliament to raise a subject of his or her choosing, of which advance notice has been given, with the appropriate Government Minister . Normally, only the Member raising the debate and the Minister who is replying speak in the half hour adjournment. It is not uncommon for the Chamber otherwise to be empty. The convention is that any subject may be raised on a Motion for the adjournment, since any matter of national or local importance may offer a good reason for the House to continue sitting i.e. the House should not adjourn until it has considered the topic in hand . It is not usual for the House to vote on the adjournment Motion it is either agreed to without a vote, or it lapses once the allotted time has expired. On rare occasions, however, where the debate concerns a matter on which there are strong differences of opinion ..., the adjournmentdebate is colloquially known as the late show.

An overview may be global if presented at the beginning of a speech or local if presented at the beginning of a position. Overviews typically list the order a debater s speech will be given in. For instance, On Case, Co op Disadvantage, Spending Disadvantage, Weapon Disadvantage would be an expected overview. Debaters will usually inform the judge policy debate judge where they will be giving an overview before they start a speech because it can make it harder to flow the speech. A small minority of judges dislike this practice and will start speech time when a debater starts giving this order. Many judges dislike overviews because, since many are scripted before the round begins, they tend to be non responsive or repetitive and are often long. However, most judges and coaches support the practice for arguments which cannot be placed anywhere on the line by line or that need to be flagged for their importance.

A squirrel is a term in debate debating jargon, particularly in parliamentary debate , that indicates a definition from the side of the opening speaker that makes it too easy for his or her side. The first speaker in a debate, who is defending the Motion parliamentary procedure motion or proposition , generally has to define the terms used in the motion. When this definition is done in an unexpected way, it can favour the opening side, because that side had been able to prepare for the particular interpretation in the preparation time. For example, if the motion read This House Would dissolve the police , it would be a squirrel to refer to the band The Police instead of the police . Another squirrel in this case, that helps the opening side by making the debate generally easier for them, is to add unreasonable exceptions to the motion. For example, defending dissolving the police except in cases where it has to uphold the law is rather easy. In competitive debating, judges usually consider a squirrel a negative thing. There is, however, no clear standard on what constitutes a squirrel, and the judges have to decide this on their own. Sometimes the other side in the debate tries to notify the judges of the squirrel. A notable example is the so called open motion debate, where debaters are expected to come up with their own far fetched interpretation of an ambiguous motion. A squirrel can also refer to an affirmative so obscure that there is no known negative against it. These cases are rare and will typically win the round for the affirmative team.
