Business of the House

I seek leave for members’ order of the day No. 3 to be taken ahead of members’ order of the day No. 1.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): The member is seeking leave? Is there any objection to that course of action being taken? There appears to be none.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I invite the member to move a similar motion, but to make it one that puts forward members’ order of the day No. 2 instead of members’ order of the day No. 3.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Are we having a motion put on the floor here, or are we seeking leave? I was under the impression that we were to have a motion put on the floor. We are seeking leave, are we?

No, I am moving a motion.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): You are moving a motion that members’ order of the day No. 1 be put aside and No. 2 take its place?

I move, That members’ order of the day No. 1 be postponed until after consideration of members’ order of the day No. 2.
