I inform the House that, accompanied by honourable members, I waited today upon His Excellency the Governor-General at Government House and presented to him the address-in-reply to His Excellency’s speech on the opening of the first session of the 47th Parliament, agreed to by the House on 9 May 2023. His Excellency was pleased to make the following reply:

Mr Speaker:

Thank you for your address-in-reply.

It will be my pleasure and my duty to convey to His Majesty the King the Message of Loyalty from the House Representatives, to which the address gives expression.
