It is produced at the end of each sitting period. Where applicable the relevant Standing Orders are noted. CHAMBER Social distancing On Tuesday 4 May, following a motion from the Leader of the House, the Hon. Mark Speakman MP, the House agreed to an altered seating plan which allowed all 93 Members to sit in the Chamber and galleries during Question Time. The change in seating arrangements followed an inspection of the Chamber by NSW Health. In a Statement made before Question Time, the Speaker advised that there was designated seating for each Member and, to minimise risk, Members were not to move unnecessarily about the Chamber and were to moderate their voices. Additionally, measures had been introduced to increase airflow into the Chamber. However, the expanded seating arrangements were short lived, and on Thursday 6 May, following a number of cases of locally acquired COVID-19 infections, the House agreed to a motion of the Leader of the House providing for Chamber seating to revert to the previous arrangement of 52 Members seated on the floor and in the galleries.
