MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I note that I was given 10 minutes by the passing of the motion for the suspension of standing orders, but the clock showed only five minutes. The motion to suspend standing orders was to allow me to speak for a further 10 minutes.

MR SPEAKER: The motion was for an extension of time.

MR HUMPHRIES: It was for an extension of time of 10 minutes.

MR SPEAKER: I am afraid I did not hear that, but if it is so recorded - - -

Mr Duby: Everyone else did, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: There is so much noise. Order! Is it the will of the house to allow Mr Humphries to speak for a further 10 minutes?
