Chapter 10 - Debate
Question read
A senator may require the question to be read at any time during a
debate but not so as to interrupt a senator speaking (SO 195). This procedure
was virtually obsolete until revived in 1996 è(SD, 18/10/1996, p. 4485; 29/10/1996, p. 4660). The
Chair may decline to have the question read if it has been circulated to
senators in print, which is now usually the case (ruling of President
Calvert, SD, 15/9/2003, p. 15079). (See Supplement)
