It is proposed to take Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 in that order. I propose that the sitting be suspended from 12.30 p.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch.
Order of Business.
This is a simple question. I would like to know, for information, is it intended to order No. 10 for discussion next week? It was ordered significantly higher yesterday. I wonder could the Leader of the House indicate whether it is intended to repeat that next week?
My question is not on the Order of Business this morning. It is more in line with Senator Ryan's question as to whether or not the Valuation Bill will be taken next week?
Will Nos. 2 and 3 be taken together?
In reply to Senator Ryan, it is intended to order No. 10 next week, but there will be a preference for Government legislation, Nos. 5 and 6. There is a certain element of urgency about No. 6. This is in response to Senator Smith's point. I understand that the Valuation Bill will be taken next week. I had hoped to have completed the Second Stage of the NDC yesterday, but we did not achieve that. That is a matter of urgency as well. It will depend on the urgency of all of the matters. They will be mentioned next week on the Order of Business — Nos. 5, 6 and 10. We will not be taking Nos. 2 and 3, together because they are two separate and different matters. They are in the same ministerial responsibility, but they are separate. The House can decide if they wish to discuss both of them together. They are two specifically different reports. I would suggest that the House should deal with them separately, because they are separate reports, although the same Minister or Minister of State will be taking them.
Order of Business agreed to.
