by leave—I move:

That business of the Senate order of the day No. 1, relating to the presentation of the report of the Procedure Committee on the proposal to alter the structure of the Senate committee system, be postponed to a later hour of the day.

Could the Deputy President give us an indication of when ‘later in the day’ means.

I understand that the report is in the process of being printed at this stage. I do not know the exact time when the report will be delivered. We will let you know when we have an idea of the timing.

Question agreed to.
