Mr Speaker: Order, order. I would like to inform the House that as from today I shall, when the occasion arises, cause before each sitting to be laid on the Table two lists. First, a *list of Members who have since the last sitting been given permission to be absent together with the respective dates for which such permission has been given. Secondly, a +list of Bills assented to by the President since the previous sitting with the respective dates of assent. This practice will be supplementary to the present practice of having these lists published in the Official Report.
