Detail Stage
Clause 2
Consideration resumed from 19 November 1991.
MR STEVENSON (12.30): Mr Speaker, I am scheduled to speak on this matter. The matter was scheduled for this afternoon and I do not have my papers here at the moment. Would someone else like to speak on the matter?
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, I, like Mr Stevenson, am caught out too. I again stress the difficulties at the moment in managing procedures in the chamber. I wish to comment throughout the detail stage on this Bill. I also am waiting for my papers to be brought down.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Berry, there seems to be a lack of advice in advance to members on this.
Mr Berry: No, they were aware that we were going this way.
MR STEVENSON: Mr Speaker, could I seek leave to extend private members' business until 1 o'clock?
MR SPEAKER: You may seek leave, but whether you will get it or not is another thing.
MR STEVENSON: If that is the case, I seek leave to extend private members' business until 1 o'clock.
Leave not granted.
