The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:45): I seek leave to move a motion without notice concerning the suspension of standing order 14.

Leave granted.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I move:

That standing order 14 be suspended.

This procedure has been adopted in recent times to allow consideration of other business before the Address in Reply has been adopted.

Motion carried.

The Hon. P.
