I move:

That:

(a)

the arrangements for Monday 27 March and Tuesday 28 March 2006 agreed to earlier be revoked, and that the usual times of meeting and order of business as provided for by the standing and sessional orders stand, unless otherwise notified by the Speaker;

(b)

for any sitting of the House to which Senators are invited as guests, the provisions of standing order 257(c) apply to the area of Members’ seats as well as the galleries; and

(c)

a message be sent advising the Senate of these matters.

Question agreed to.

I have discussed this with the Manager of Opposition Business. I have undertaken on behalf of the government that question time will certainly be happening on both of these days. But this is necessary in order to accommodate the changing itinerary of the British Prime Minister.

Question agreed to.
