Vol. 422 No. 5

Special Committee on the Solicitors (Amendment) Bill, 1991: Motion.

I move:

(1) That where a division is demanded in the Special Committee on the Solicitors (Amendment) Bill, 1991, whenever the Chairman shall have declared the result, in his opinion, of the putting of the question, any Member may have his dissent from such declaration recorded in the official proceedings of the Committee by raising his hand when called upon to do so by the Chairman.

(2) If after the lapse of a quarter of an hour from the time appointed for the meeting of the Committee there shall not be a quorum, the Committee shall stand adjourned and the Clerk attending the Committee, after entering in the official proceedings of the Committee the names of the members who attended, shall convene a meeting for a later hour to be named by him or for a subsequent day.

(3) If during a sitting of the Committee, the Chairman's attention is called to the fact that a quorum is not present, or if on the report of a division such fact shall appear, the Chairman shall suspend the meeting for not less than eight minutes; and no decision shall be considered to have been arrived at by such division. If on the resumption of the meeting a quorum is not present, the Chairman shall suspend the meeting to a later hour to be named by him or shall adjourn the Committee without question put to a subsequent day; and the hour of such adjournment, as also the names of the members present, shall be entered in the official proceedings of the Committee.

Question put and agreed to.
