omar. v] THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURE 467 in charge of a Bill or to a Minister when delivering the financial statement in Committee of Supply or, in regard to the number of his speeches, to a Minister in charge of a Class of Estimates in Committee of Supply. Standing Order No. 111 provides that in speaking to motions for the adjournment of the House a0 Member shall exceed five minutes, with the exception of Ministers, who shall each be allowed to speak ten minutes, and the whole discussion on the subject shall not exceed two hours, There was no time limit to speeches in the Parliaments of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal, and the Orange River Colony, and none has yet been adopted in the case of the Union. In the case of the Commonwealth there was adopted in 1905 the excellent rule of allowing a Bill to be taken up in a subsequent session at the stage at which it was aban- doned, provided always that no general election or periodic election of the Senate has intervened. It is also further laid down that if the Bill has gone to the other House from either: House, the consent of the House in which it originated is requisite for the other House taking it up.! A good example of this procedure is the passing in 1910 through the Senate of she Navigation Bill with the intention of resuming it in 1911. In Western Australia again in 1910 the Legislative Council asked the Lower House to concur in a similar rule without result. But in New South Wales and in South Australia the same rule applies. In all the constitutions there are provisions for the appoint- ment by election of a Speaker and of a President: of the Legislative Council. In the Cape the Chief Justice was er officio President. In the case of New South Wales? and Queensland 2 the appointment of the President is made by the Governor by instrument under the public seal; in New Zealand, which also has a nominee Upper House, the post of Speaker of the Council is electivet In the case of Victoria the post is elective, but the election can be dis- allowed by the Governor ; in Tasmania and South Australia it is elective, and notification only is prescribed, and so in ‘ Senate Journals, 1905, p. 54 ; Parliamentary Debates, 1905, p. 7089. * Act No. 32 of 1902, s. 11. * Act 31 Vict, No. 38, s. 25.
