Private Members' Statements

During each sitting day, time is allocated for Members to make short statements about matters of concern in their electorates (SO 108). Members may also make Private Members' Statements on other issues, as long as the matter raised affects their constituents or was brought to them by a constituent.

Members may speak for up to five minutes each in the time allocated in the routine of business. Ministers or Parliamentary Secretaries may reply to the statement for up to one minute and it must remain within the scope of the statement given by the Member. Up to 75 Private Members' Statements may be given each sitting week.

The current Sitting Day Schedule provides for Private Members' Statements to be made at the end of each day.

The House adjourns at the conclusion of Private Members' Statements.

For more information on Private Members' Statements see the Legislative Assembly Guide to Chamber Procedure.
