          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:15):</by>  I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. In her considerations, would the minister also consider ways of making the operations of the House of Assembly more efficient and effective; in particular, when an important bill such as the Work Health and Safety Bill is there, waiting for debate in this chamber, but the House of Assembly gets up, for example, at 5 to 6 on Tuesday night and 5 to 6 last night without debating it?</text>
