by leave—I move:
That unless otherwise ordered, so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent Question Time commencing immediately and being followed by:
(1) presentation of documents;
(2) the discussion of a matter of public importance;
(3) ministerial statements; and
(4) government business until 9:30 p.m.
I indicate that I understand that there may well also be a suspension of parliament for a short period of time at an appropriate time!
Question agreed to.
