CHAIRMAN OF 00MMI1."l'EES (GEORGE BOOTH ESQ.), RULINGS, 0BSElRVA'l'lONS AND .OPINIONS (continued) : Electricity Developntent Bill: When

reading a letter during his speech, an bon. member should give the name of the writer and that person's reasbn for having written the letter, 1606.

An bon. member is not in order in moving an amendment to a clause that has not yet been debated: He may foreshadow such an amendment, 1672.

Though an hon. member may not read from H an.sard of the current session, he is entitled to refer to what bas been said in the debate, '1674.

The Committee having decided that the membership of the Electricity Au­thority shall 1·emain at seven, it is not in order for the bon. member for 'IV ool­lahra to move an amendment to in­crease the number of members who shall• be members of a Council from two to four, 1686.

An amendment by the hou. member for Ashfield seeking to increase the number of members of Authority be­yond the number agreed to by the Committee is out of order, Hi90.

Estimates: The Committee having. de­cided to take the- Estimates seriatim, the vote under discussion being that for the Premier's Depar-tment, and· there being no such item in that vote .as the "Post-war Reconst1·nction Divi­sion," debate on such a matter '"ould be out of order, 921.

An bon. member may not refer to the. Budget when the Committee is dealing with. the Estimates, 1029.

An bon. member, p1•ovided. that he is. not offensive, is: entitled to. express l1is own opinions, 1167.

An bon. member may read an· ex­tract· from a pamphlet to support his argument, but it is out of order to read the complete article, 1171.

There being no provi.s1ion in the Estimates of the Department of Health for a. contribution to the Milk Board, it is not in. order to discuss that sub­ject; 1188.

The Chairman of Committees. may, .at his discretion, give his ruling at :my time that he thinks. fit; 1275.

An hon. member is not entitled to Yise to order to refute a statement by another hon. member; merely· because he believes that it is not in accordanco wHh fa.ct. 1285,

CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (GEORGE BOOTH ESQ.), RULINGS, 0BSERVA'l'IONS AND OPINIONS (continued):

When speaking a second time on an estimate, an bon. member is allowed a period of ten minutes only and has no rigbt of reply, 1336.

ll'isllm·ies and Oyster Fanns (A mend­ment) Bill: The practice of the House is tl1at when au bon. member deniea a statement, that denial must be ac­cepted, 249.

When making a personal explanation an bon. member is in order in refer­ring to aspersions on his integrity, but is not if he dools with generaliza­tions concerning other persons, 251.

The remark that the bon. member for Hawkesbury is "the big haddock from the Hawkesbury River" is un­parliamentary and offensi,-e aud must be withdrawn without reservation, 425.

If an bon .. member says that ha possesses certain. information, pro­mises to divulge it, and then fnils to do so, that does not provide adequata grounds for a ruling by the Chair that the promise must be honoured. How­ever, another speaker is in. order in challenging the bon. member to pro­duce such information. A11 ao;sump­tion that failure to produc-e the. infor­mation is an admission. bv the bon. member that he is telling lies is not a violation of the Standing Or'<lers, 425-!1.

The Standing Orders. pr·ovide that an hon. member may have rec01·ded in Hansard only the oral statements that he makes in the Chamber. 'l'here is uo objection to his quoting letters or stntemeuts, even at considerable length, 428.

On an amendment at tbe Committee stage, an bon. member may not reply to an attack made on him at the 211.. stage, 471.

When de11.ling with nn amendment to a clause; it is• out of Ol'der to dis­cuss the clause itself in all its ramific&­tiens, 4'74.

Indu.strial Disputes: The Speaker may, at his discretion, give his ruling on a point of order at any time that he thinks fit. The· hon. member,· for Armi­dale, having exceeded the scope of the motion before the· Bouse, must link his. remarks to the question, 531-2.

Liquor- (A1lle'lldment) Bill: The hon. member for Manly must confine hiS' re­marks to the amendment, and· may not make a second readiug spee.ch at the C:ommittee stalle. 3431. ·

SESSIO~'q' 1945-1946;

18 September, 1945, to 22 May, 1946.

ASSEMBLY (continued) : CirAJRMAN OF COMMITTEES (GEORGE B'OOTH ' ESQ.), RULINGS, 0BSE!l.V A'l'kOXS AND

OPINIONS (continued) : Obscene and Indect>nt Pz£blications

( .A:mend'lltent) Bill : It is not the procedure of the Chair to protect an hou. member's rights in respect of a foreshadowed amendment. The· proced­ure is that if the amendment before the Committee is negatived, a proposed amendment dealing with the same clause may be proceeded with, 2749.

An amendment seeking to prohibit the printing or publication of reports in relation to divorce prooeedings for dis­solution of marriage, nullity of mar· riage, judicial separation, conjugal sepa1·.ation, or the restitution of conju­gal rights is beyond the scope of a bill designed- to amend the Obscene and In· decent Publications Act, 2753.

Service Co?npen.'wtion Taxation Bill: As clause two is substantially the bill it· self the hon. member for w·onondilly is being allowed every latitude, but he must confine himself to the clause and not make a second reading speech, 93.

Supply Bill: 'l'he Standing Orders make no provision for an hon. member to be allowed an extension of time in Committee of Supply. They provide that, except for· the relevant Minis· tcr, the leader of the Opposition and the Leader· of the Country Party, hon. members may speak fo.r a continuous period of only forty-five minutes, and for a further two periods of ten minutes each, 47.

When making a speech, it is per· missible for an hon. member to make an· intelligent use of notes, 28.

'l'he sessional order specifying the !JOur of adjournment having been sus­pended, the time for the adjournment of the Honse is not a matter for the Speaker to decide, 1623.

'l'he point of order that the hon. member for Burwood rose but was not seen by the Ch~ir is not well taken 'l'he Minister rose, and as no other hon. member seemed inclined to do so, the Minister was given the call, 1664.

CLYNE), RULINGS AND OBSERVATIONS ( continuecl) :-Liq1tar (A 111enclment) Bill: An explana·

tion of the administration of the U.L.V.A. is outside the scope of the Liquor (Amendment) Bill, 3250.

Though the speech of the hon. mem· her for Hyde iS' discursive, the scope of the measure is very wide, and deals with the need to make further provision for the regulation of the sale of liquor. However, the hon. member must keep to the measure as much as he can, 3309.

Meclical PraeUtionm·s (A1nend1nent) Bill: The bill makes no reference to Dr. Steiner and though the hon. mem­ber for Randwick may comment on Dr. Steiner to relate his remarks to the measure he may not do so in volumin· ous detail, 2086-7.

M011day Sitting: Where a motion is moved by con;;en t under the Standing Orders, the House must accept it, 3474..

ASSEMBLY: (continued}: SPEAKER, MR.· (THE HON. DANIEL

CLYNE), RULINGS AND OBSERVATIONS (continued):-Questions Asked of P1·ivate Me1llbers:

Questions may be asked of members other than Ministers only if they deal with bills, motions, or other public matters before the House in "·hich such members may be concerned, 450.

Questions without Notice: An hon. mem· ber, after asking a question, is not en· titled to comment on the answer, 40G.

An hon. member must not allude to speeches made during the current ses· sion, 23 7 8.

State Briclcwo1·ks Bill: The measure hav­ing been before the Chamber for three days, and every bon. member having had ample opportunity of speaking du;­ing the second-reading clebate, the Cha_u is not prepared to allow to go m Hansard unchallenged :!l statement that an hon. member was not permitted to speak at that stage, 2543.

At the second reading the principles of a bill are subject to general discus­sion, and the scope of debate is wider than on the third 1·eading, when debate must be confined to the main provisions of the bill, 2611.

"Yois-uki," Overcrowding on: The question of urgency is one for the House it.self to detemtine. The hon. member for Cobar may not, when making a personal explanation, renew objections. raised _by )tim on a point of order, agamst wh1ch the· Chair has ruled, 2555, 2559. ,
