Standing Orders Suspension

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (11:08): I move:

That standing orders be so far suspended as to enable me move a motion without notice forthwith.

The SPEAKER: I have counted the house and, as there is an absolute majority of the whole number of members of the house, I accept the motion. Is it seconded?

An honourable member: Yes, sir.

Motion carried.
