I move:

That standing order 31 (automatic adjournment of the House), standing order 33 (limit on business) and standing order 133 (deferred divisions) be suspended for this sitting.

For the benefit of members, at the moment we have no messages from the Senate. If at any point any messages arrive that require a decision of the House, I will move that whatever debate we are in be adjourned so we can deal with them immediately so we're getting through them in an orderly way. I commend the motion to the House.

Question agreed to.
