ADDRESS IN REPLY

The SPEAKER: I remind honourable members that His Excellency the Governor will receive the Speaker and members of the House of Assembly at 3.30pm today for the presentation of the Address in Reply. I ask all honourable members to accompany me to Government House.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Point of order, Madam Speaker. If there were 30 seconds left of question time, why was the opposition denied the opportunity to ask a question during that time?

The SPEAKER: Because we were supposed to leave at 3.15pm and I did give some flexibility there until now. Considering there were about 20 seconds left, I think it was in order.

[Sitting suspended from 15:25 to 16:04]
