Mr WILLIAMS: I wish to speak against the motion moved by—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I move that, as this matter is unresolved from last time, they be allowed to speak for five minutes on the subject. That way we do not have to have a major debate, and we can respond for five minutes, but we can indicate that we will not be extending question time by that time.

The SPEAKER: Member for MacKillop, you have five minutes.

Mr WILLIAMS: Madam Speaker, I seek some clarification from you. My understanding is that it is the convention of the house—

The SPEAKER: My understanding is that the member for Unley is going to withdraw and he does not wish you to go on with it.

Motion carried.
