His Honour the Lieutenant Governor entered the Chamber and took his seat upon the Throne.

The Government House Leader said:-

His Honour was then pleased to retire.

The Clerk of the Legislative Assembly addressed the Members as follows:-

“Members of the Legislative Assembly, it is my duty to call upon you to elect one of your numbers to preside over your deliberations as Speaker, therefore, I ask for nominations for the Office of the Speaker.”
