Mr Speaker, I have a question for you. Is it in order for members to approach Hansard staff while the House is in session in order to hand them material?
Harry Jenkins (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
There are standard procedures for Hansard that are well known.

Mr Speaker, I have another question.
Harry Jenkins (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
Is it on the same point or is it a different question?
Don Randall (Canning, Liberal Party, Shadow Cabinet Secretary) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
It is similar to that question. Isn’t it more appropriate to be handing this sort of material to the attendants rather than directly to Hansard staff? Will you answer my question, Mr Speaker?
Harry Jenkins (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I think it is up to members. I do not see this as one of the greatest issues ever.

Whilst not giving an advisory ruling, there is a lot of movement in the chamber, let alone people dropping off messages to Hansard.

The member for Canning had two goes at raising a question. There is no need for him to continue it.
