BURKE (—) (): First speeches are about to start. Noting the time, someone's speech will be interrupted by the automatic adjournment at 7.30. To avoid that—but we'll still adjourn once the first speeches are done with—I ask for the leave of the House to move a motion to suspend standing order 31, Automatic adjournment of the House, for this sitting.

Leave granted.

I move:

That standing order 31 (automatic adjournment of the House) be suspended for this sitting.

Question agreed to.
