The WA Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council) report addresses the relationship between Standing Orders (SO) 164 and 195, concerning the timing of orders of the day. It proposes repealing these SOs and introducing a new SO 195 to clarify debate time. The report also recommends allowing ministerial statements earlier in parliamentary proceedings.
