President, Presentation to Governor

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:51): I move:

That the sitting of the council be suspended until the ringing of the bells to enable the council to proceed to Government House to present the President to His Excellency the Governor.

Motion carried.

Sitting suspended from 14:54 to 15:12.

The PRESIDENT: I have to report that, accompanied by honourable members, I proceeded to Government House and there presented myself as President to His Excellency the Governor and claimed for the council the right of free access to and communication with His Excellency and that the most favourable construction might be placed on all its proceedings. His Excellency was pleased to reply:

I congratulate the Honourable Members of the Legislative Council on their choice of a President.

I readily assure you, Mr President, of my confirmation of all the constitutional rights and privileges of the Legislative Council, the proceedings of which will always receive most favourable consideration.
