The Chief Minister: May it please you, Sir, the next item is a motion to discuss, among other things, the salaries of the Ministers, and I feel that Members of the House would perhaps enjoy that better if they could be given an opportunity for refreshment at this juncture. Would you consider suspending the sitting for a few minutes, Sir?

Mr Speaker: Is it the wish of the Assembly that we should recess for tea?

Hon. Members indicated assent.

Mr Speaker: The sitting is suspended for half an hour.

Sitting accordingly suspended at 5.15 p.m. until 5.45 p.m. Sitting resumed at 5.45 p.m.
