Chapter 15 - Delegated
legislation and disallowance
Consideration
in committee of the whole
There is a precedent (26/5/1904, J.49) for the
consideration of the disallowance of regulations in committee of the whole. The
circumstances were that a motion was moved for the disallowance of a series of
regulations under the Defence Act, and it was considered that the advantages of
the committee procedure of debate, where senators can speak more than once to a
question, were more suited to the nature of the motion. In addition, each
regulation could be considered seriatim. To be effective, any resolution of the
committee of the whole would have to be adopted by the Senate, on report.
