Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (18:08): I move:

That the sitting of the council be suspended until the ringing of the bells.

Can I indicate to you, Mr President, and to the others that we are not always guided by, but we are awaiting, what might be happening in another place. If another place adjourns the house to the next optional week of sitting, my proposition will be that we will do the same. If another place adjourns the house until May, then I will be proposing to this house that we adjourn until May as well. At this stage, I have just been advised that the debate is continuing in the House of Assembly. For those reasons I am moving that the sitting of the council be suspended until the ringing of the bells.

Motion carried.

Sitting suspended from 18:09 until 18:28.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: As I said to some members: we are coming back. I move:

That the remaining Orders of the Day be made Orders of the Day for the next day of sitting.

Motion carried.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I move:

That the council at its rising do adjourn until Tuesday 30 November 2021.

Motion carried.

At 18:29 the council adjourned until Tuesday 30 November 2021 at 14:15.
