Note 41 — MANUAL OF PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE.
Reading edition
This rule has been modified so as to specify the questions entitled to preference. The rule is now as follows:
[When a question is under debate, no motion shall be received but to adjourn, to lay on the table, to postpone indefinitely, to postpone to a day certain, to commit, or to amend; which several motions shall have precedence in the order they stand arranged, and the motion for adjournment shall always be in order, and be decided without debate.]
