The Deputy Speaker
Is it necessary to read each of the 66 motions to the House at this point? Perhaps the House would give its consent to have this entire group deemed to have been put to the House.
Can I dispense with reading the other 66 motions?

Is it agreed that Motions Nos. 2 to 67 have been moved and seconded and are now before the House?
