Sittings of the House
The House is just a few minutes away from what would be the normal rising time. We have made good progress with business today. Accordingly, I seek leave for the House to rise at this earlier moment.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I just want to check with our whips that there has been proper consultation on that. There has not. I think we should move an adjournment motion and we should have a debate.
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: Leave has been sought.
I have now been assured that it has been agreedβ
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: I am on my feet. I do not mind other members standing as they congratulate Mr Calder. Leave has been sought for the House to stand adjourned. Is there any objection to that course of action? There is none.
The House adjourned at 5.53 p.m.
