¢HAp. Vv] THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURE 465 that no Member shall speak to a motion to adjourn the House or the Debate for more than ten minutes. Rule No. 14 of the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia provides that no Member shall address the House upon any subject before it for a longer period than an hour and a half at any one time, unless by special leave of the House. There is no limitation on the time occupied by speeches delivered in the Parliament of Newfoundland. There is no provision for a time limit to speeches in the Senate of the Commonwealth of Australia, except in the case of a motion for the adjournment to discuss a definite matter of urgency, in which case the mover and Minister first speaking to the question shall not speak for more than thirty minutes each, and other Senators and the mover in reply shall not exceed fifteen minutes each, while the whole of the discussion of the subject shall not exceed three hours ‘Standing Orders of the Senate, No. 60). In the House of Representatives, the only limitation is that under Standing Orders 38 and 39 a Member moving the adjournment of the House to discuss a definite matter of urgent public importance cannot speak for more than thirty minutes, and no other Member for more than fifteen minutes. Standing Order No. 13 of the Legislative Council of New South Wales provides that on any motion for the adjourn- ment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance, the speeches of the mover and the Minister first speaking to the question shall not exceed thirty minutes each, and the speech of any other Member or of the mover in reply shall not exceed fifteen minutes each. Standing Order No. 264 provides that any standing rules or order of the House may be suspended on motion made in accordance with notice given and, in cases of necessity, may be suspended on motion made without notice. The question of necessity may be decided by the House upon motion without notice or debate, except a state- ment by the mover limited to ten minutes. Standing Order No. 49 of the Legislative Assembly provides that on motions for the adjournment of the House to discuss definite matters of urgent public importance, the mover and the Minister first speaking are limited to thirty minutes each, and any other Member speaking to the question to fifteen minutes each. Standing Order No. 161 provides that on a motion of dissent from Mr. Speaker’s ruling no Member shall, without concurrence, speak for more than ten minutes, and Mr. Speaker is entitled to put the question when the debate on such question shall have exceeded thirty minutes. 179 Th
