MANAGER OF GOVERNMENT BUSINESS
Amendments to Standing Orders
MR BERRY (4.28): Madam Speaker, I seek leave to move a motion relating to amendments to the standing orders.
Leave granted.
MR BERRY: I move:
That:
(1) the following temporary order operate for the remainder of this Assembly:
"Manager of Government Business
5C. A Manager of Government Business shall be apppointed by the Chief Minister.";
(2) temporary order 34(b) be amended for the remainder of this Assembly by inserting, after "a Minister", "or the Manager of Government Business";
(3) temporary order 34(c) be amended for the remainder of this Assembly by inserting, after "a Minister", "or the Manager of Government Business";
(4) standing order 35 be amended for the remainder of this Assembly by inserting, after "a Minister", "or the Manager of Government Business"; and
(5) standing order 211 be amended for the remainder of this Assembly by adding, after "the Speaker", "and, during the presentation of papers pursuant to standing order 74, as amended by temporary order, the Manager of Government Business".
Madam Speaker, the motion has been discussed with members throughout the chamber. It merely facilitates the operation of the Manager of Government Business in this place. It is a fairly simple motion which, in the first place, identifies the Manager of Government Business as somebody appointed by the Chief Minister pursuant to temporary order 5C. It also seeks to amend temporary order 34(b) to provide for the adjournment of the Assembly to be moved by the Manager of Government Business as well as by a Minister. The same applies in relation to temporary order 34(c), which merely adds the Manager of Government Business to the role of a Minister in this chamber.
Debate interrupted.
