§ THE LORD PRIVY SEAL (VISCOUNT ADDISON)My Lords, I beg to move the Motion which stands in my name on the Order Paper. In view of the exceptional character of the occasion, I believe your Lordships will give it your assent. I beg to move.
§ Moved, that Standing Orders Nos. XXI and XXXIX be considered in order to their being dispensed with for the purpose of giving the New Zealand Constitution (Amendment) Bill [H.L.] precedence over the other Notices and Orders of the Day and of passing the Bill through its remaining stages.—[Viscount Addison.]
§ On Question, Motion agreed to, and ordered accordingly.
