ADJOURNMENT TO A LATER DAY MOTION

The Chief Minister: Mr Speaker, the business of this sitting has been more expeditiously completed than anticipated, and not even the moment of interruption has yet arrived. In these circumstances, Sir, I would ask your indulgence that the relevant Standing Orders be suspended, after the completion of business, in order to enable a motion on the Adjournment to be taken; and after the completion of the business of this sitting, to permit the adjournment to the 29th of June, 1955.

Mr Speaker: The general assent of Members is required to enable the Chief Minister to move a motion that at the end of today's business, this Assembly do adjourn to the 29th of June. That, I might say, will not prevent anybody from speaking on the Adjournment when, after that proposal has been made and is carried, another motion will be moved that the meeting do now adjourn. Can I have the general assent of Members?

Hon. Members indicated assent.

The Chief Minister: I am obliged to the House, Sir, and I formally move,

That at the completion of the business today this sitting do stand adjourned to the 29th of June, 1955.

Mr Lim Yew Hock: I rise to second the motion.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That at the conclusion of business today, this Assembly do adjourn to 29th June, 1955.
