I move:

That a committee, consisting of Ms Flint, Mr E. L. O'Brien and the mover, be appointed to prepare an address-in-reply to the speech delivered by His Excellency the Governor-General to both houses of the parliament and that the committee report at the next sitting.

Question agreed to.

I made the mistake of pausing then. I understand that it will suit the convenience of the House to have the sitting suspended until 5 pm. I will resume the chair at that time.

Sitting suspended from 15:56 to 17:00
