Hon members, as you are aware, we do have further business on the Order Paper, that is, the debate on a matter of public importance. We were aware that the hon the Minister of Welfare would be involved in various other duties. The debate will proceed, but not at this time.
In terms of Rule 25, I will interrupt our proceedings and the bells will be rung when we are ready to continue with the next Order. The proceedings are therefore interrupted. The House will adjourn until the bells are rung.
Business suspended at 15:08 and resumed at 15:30.
