Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (11:01): I move without notice:

That standing and sessional orders be and remain so far suspended today as to enable the sitting of the house to be extended beyond 1pm, for the house to proceed with its ordinary business set out in standing order 78 from 1pm, and for the sitting of the house to be suspended for one hour after the completion of question time.

The SPEAKER: The house should be full—every member in his or her place—to enable this to go through. A majority not being present, ring the bells.

An absolute majority of the whole number of members being present:

Motion carried.
