A number of senators will question the government over its “digital wallet” scheme and plans for constitutional amendments during the policy statement debate, which will take place over about 30 hours on September 11 and 12.

Senator Kamnoon Sidhisamarn, spokesman for the Senate whips, said today (Wednesday) that the whips of the senate, the government and opposition parties will meet tomorrow to discuss the allocation of time during the debate.

Kamnoon said that each senator will be given about 10 minutes to speak and has until this Friday to apply to join the debate.

On the first day of the debate, on Monday, it may drag on until 2am or 3am of the next morning and resume on Tuesday until about 9pm, said Kamnoon.
