MADAM SPEAKER: You have to seek leave to move a motion to have it incorporated and authorised for publication.

MR MOORE: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I seek leave to move a motion to have it incorporated in the papers of the committee and authorised for publication.

MADAM SPEAKER: The process is that, if we agree to this motion, the submission is tabled in the Assembly and then incorporated in the papers of the committee. The motion before us is that one. Those of that opinion say Aye; to the contrary, No. The Ayes have it.

Mr Stevenson: On a point of order, Madam Speaker: This is just leave to move the motion, I presume.

MADAM SPEAKER: Leave was granted. Nobody said no.

Mr Stevenson: No; leave was not granted, Madam Speaker. You did not ask whether leave was granted.

MADAM SPEAKER: We will start again. It was understood, Mr Stevenson; but I am not unhappy with putting it again.

Mr Stevenson: On a point of order, Madam Speaker - - -

MADAM SPEAKER: No; sit down. Mr Moore has the call.

MR MOORE: Madam Speaker, I seek leave to move a motion to incorporate this paper in the papers of the committee and to authorise its publication.

Leave not granted.

MR MOORE: I move:

That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Moore from moving a motion to incorporate a submission in the papers presented by the Select Committee on Community Initiated Referendums and authorise it for publication.

Madam Speaker, I move:

That the question be now put.

Question resolved in the affirmative, Mr Stevenson dissenting.

Original question resolved in the affirmative, with the concurrence of an absolute majority.
