Hon members, I wish to announce that by agreement among parties, notices of motion and motions without notice will be taken after Questions.
As members are aware, Parliament hosted the 2013 Women's Parliament this morning - an important event in our annual calendar. Participants from that assembly are now present in the public gallery to observe these proceedings. On behalf of the House and Presiding Officers I would like to extend a word of welcome to our guests today. [Applause.]
