I move:

That standing order 31 (automatic adjournment of the House) and standing order 33 (limit on business) be suspended for the sitting on Thursday, 24 March 2011.

Briefly, this is the standard motion that is moved at the end of a period. Passage of legislation is unclear at this stage, in terms of advice from the Senate. I will inform the House and inform the member for Menzies during the day about how that is proceeding. At this stage we are once again in the hands of our colleagues in the other chamber with regard to the time this evening’s business will be completed and as to whether we have to come back here at some later stage. I commend the motion to the House.

Question agreed to.
