I wish to inform this House that we have lost a colleague and a member of the House, the hon Von Brandis. I wish to ask you to stand for a moment of silence. May his soul rest in peace.
The Council observed a moment of silence in honour of the late hon E J von Brandis.
Hon members, I wish to make two rulings arising from the points of order of 14 May during Question Time to the President. I will wait until the hon Mathys is in the House to make the third ruling, which relates to a point of order she raised.
