Guide to Procedures


Preface

The Guide to Procedures is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the procedures of the House of Representatives, intended for participants in and observers of proceedings in the Chamber of the House and the Main Committee.

House of Representatives Practice is the definitive text on the parliamentary law, procedures, and practice of the House of Representatives. The Guide to Procedures does not go into such detail, nor does it include as wide a range of subject matter. Thus, for example, topics such as parliamentary privilege and committees are covered here only in as much as they become involved in proceedings in the Chamber.

This edition reflects the standing orders as they were in August 1999.
