Standing Orders Suspension

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:22): I move:

That standing orders be so far suspended as to enable me to move a motion without notice in lieu of question time.

The PRESIDENT: You need an absolute majority for this motion, so we need a division.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I call it lost, but there has to be a division if there is any dissent. Read your standing orders, please. No matter what happens, if there is dissent, there will be a division. Ring the bells.
