Chapter 14 - Committee
of the whole proceedings
Matters
of privilege
Standing orders 81 and 197 contemplate that
a matter of privilege arising suddenly in relation to proceedings before the
Senate may be raised and dealt with at once, rather than by the more deliberate
process provided by standing order 81 (see Chapter 2,
Parliamentary Privilege, under Raising of matters of privilege). A matter of
privilege raised in committee, however, would have to be reported to the Senate
before it could be determined.
