Senator MILLEN (New South Wales) (Minister of Defence) . - A suggestion came from Senator Guthrie that we should make the hour of meeting on Friday 11 o'clock. I am anxious to meet the convenience of honorable senators, and if adopting that suggestion will fall in with their view, I ask that the motion be amended to strike out" half -past 10 o'clock " and substitute " 11 o'clock."

Question amended accordingly, and resolved in the affirmative.
