Members would be aware that for some time there has been a desire to place screens in the chamber to show the current item of business and questions before the chair. Such screens have been located in the Federation Chamber for some time, and these were always intended as a 'trial' for eventual location of screens in this chamber. A further request to place screens in the chamber was made to me by the Procedure Committee earlier this year.

Members will notice that screens have been placed in the corners of the Speaker's end of the chamber, and they will show the current matter and question before the House which I believe will be of assistance to the House.
