Yesterday you tabled a response to a report of the Procedure Committee, Media coverage of House proceedings. As you are not a member of the executive, can I ask whether or not you would have any objection if that response were listed in the Main Committee for debate and consideration by all honourable members?

That is a matter for the Leader of the House, but I personally would not object.

I believe that the Main Committee is there to facilitate discussion of things that are of interest to members and, if that would please the Chief Opposition Whip, the government will certainly facilitate it.

I thank the Leader of the House. It seems that the Chief Opposition Whip has got his response.
