Major-General Sir NEWTON MOOREI beg to move,
That so much of Standing Order 91 as fixes Five as the quorum of the Select Committee on Standing Orders be read and suspended.
§ Sir N. MOOREThis is a pro forma Motion, which is usually introduced at this time of the year. As a result of the congestion of business, it is necessary to reduce the quorum from five to three, in order to prevent the delay which very often arises as a result of that condition.
