Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 7 Hansard (24 June) . . Page.. 1918 ..

Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent orders of the day Nos 32 and 35, Assembly business, relating to the Report of the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98 on the Appropriation Bill 1997-98 and the Government's response, being called on in sequence immediately after the resolution of any question relating to the conclusion of consideration of order of the day No. 1, Executive business, relating to the Appropriation Bill 1997-98.

[COGNATE PAPERS:

Debate resumed from 13 May 1997.

MR SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with the report of the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98 on the Appropriation Bill 1997-98 and the Government's response? There being no objection, that course will be followed. I remind members that in debating order of the day No. 1, Executive business, they may also address their remarks to orders of the day Nos 32 and 35, Assembly business.

Standing order 180 sets out the order in which this Bill will be considered; that is, in the detail stage, any Schedule expressing the services for which the appropriation is to be made must be considered before the clauses and, unless the Assembly otherwise orders, the Schedules will be considered by proposed expenditure in the order shown. With the concurrence of the Assembly, I am proposing that the Assembly consider Schedule 1 by part and appropriation unit for parts 1 to 8, 11 to 14 and 16 and 18; and by part, appropriation unit and departmental total for parts 9, 10, 15 and 17. Is this the wish of the Assembly? That being so, Schedule 1 will be considered by part and appropriation unit or, where applicable, departmental total, then the clauses prior to Schedule 2 and the title.
