Mr SIDEBOTTOM (3:28 PM) — Mr Speaker, I wonder whether you would consider introducing digital clocks into the chamber to assist members and staff to clearly and quickly determine the time. Such clocks exist in the Main Committee and are much easier to read than the clocks in this chamber.

Mr SPEAKER —I understand the member for Braddon's inquiry and I will respond to him when I have an opportunity. In my experience as an occupier of one of the seats in this House, I did not find the present arrangement at all inconvenient. I am therefore not inclined to facilitate a change. But if he were to raise the matter with the Procedure Committee and they were to make such a recommendation, I would consider it.
