Speaker’s Rulings — Questions for Oral Answer—Publishing

A point of order has been raised by the Hon Murray McCully relating to questions not being distributed. I wish to rule on that matter. Questions for a future sitting are not distributed, nor is an Order Paper circulated, until the previous sitting ends. If this sitting ends before 1 p.m., any questions lodged this morning will be distributed; otherwise they will not. That is the normal procedure. It is not the subject of any deal or political interference at this time.
