Section 35

No private Member’s motion shall be proceeded with unless, upon the notice of such motion being read, support thereof or in principle shall be signified to the

Assembly by at least one Member then present in the Chamber or unless the notice of such motion has been signed by a supporter or supporters under the provisions of paragraph (2) of Standing Order No. 31 (Manner of Giving Notices)

and such support has not been withdrawn.

If a private Member does not move a motion or amendment which stands in his name when he is called upon, it shall lapse, unless some other Member duly authorised by him in writing or who has supported the notice of motion or amendment in writing shall move in his stead.

Any motion or amendment which stands in the name of a Minister may be moved by any other Member.

An order of the day may be moved by any Member, unless the Member in charge of that order names a later sitting day for its consideration in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1) of Standing Order No. 25 (Arrangement of Public

Business).
