I wish to join quite seriously in the remarks made by Senator Connolly. It has been stated frequently in this House that, as a matter of general policy, there ought to be an official representative of the Ministry here who would be able to speak on their behalf with responsibility. That proposal has never been given heed to. To-day we have five items on the Order Paper. One deals with private business, a purely formal matter. Another deals with the Currency Amendment Bill. As it happens, the whole tenor of the original Bill sent here by the Government has been altered. On the other matters of considerable importance which ought to have been discussed by the House, and as to which somebody ought to be able to speak the Ministerial mind, we are left entirely without guidance or assistance. I think the Seanad would be justified in making a strong protest against the unsatisfactory way in which the House has been treated by the Ministry on this occasion and on other occasions. There are matters here in which three different Ministries are affected, and in none of them is it possible to proceed because of the absence of any spokesman for the Ministers. The motion made by Senator O'Rourke ought to be explained. There is some reason for it, and the Ministry ought to be able to state the reason. I move that the discussion be adjourned.
