Bills-Introduced on Ways and Means Resolution- That a Bill which imposes charges or levies upon the people can be originated only by Message from the Crown or by Resolution of the Committee of Ways and Means, and that if the Committee of Ways and Means reports a Resolution to the House and the House adopts it, the Resolution becomes the Resolution of the House upon which the Bill is founded, 478. That once a Resolution of the Committee of Ways and Means has been reported to and adopted by the House, no variation of that Resolution can be made by the Committee of the Whole in the Bill founded upon such Resolution, 448, 478, 479. That the stage to alter A taxation proposal originating in a Resolution of the Committee of Ways and Means is in the Committee of Ways and Means itself. If the House desires to alter such Resolution it may do so before its adoption, 448, 478, 479. That the House alone can order any variation of the present position in relation to the Bill either for its withdrawal or for fresh ipstructions to be issued to the Committee of Ways and Means or the Committee of the whole House, 479. Bills-Introduction of closely related-It is not uncommon to have a Bill introduced and considered before another Bill, to which it is intimately related, has been introduced, 448.

Amendment (Mr. Forde) moved to second reading ruled out of order as it did not strictly relate to the Bill which the House, by its order, had resolved upon considering, 426.

Pecuniary Interest-Mr. Speaker said that while it was in accordance with Parliamentary Practice for the Speaker to guide the House regarding cases of personal interest, it was not the privilege or within the power of the Speaker to rule on such a matter, but it was a question for the House to determine on a matter of Privilege on a substantive motion on notice, 405. And see " Speaker, Mr.-Statements."
