President, I seek leave to move a motion concerning a variation to the routine of business.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion concerning the routine of business to be moved and determined immediately.

And I move:

That the question be now put.
