Rules of Debate. 



20. A member of the Hunt when speaking shall stand uncovered 

 and address the Chair. Whenever the Chairman rises no member 

 shall continue standing, nor shall any member rise until the Chair be 

 resumed. 



21. The decision of the Chairman on all points of procedure and 

 order, and his interpretation of the standing orders, shall be final. No 

 debate may ensue thereon. 



22. If two or more members rise at the same time to speak, the 

 Chairman shall determine to whom priority shall be given. 



23. A member who speaks shall direct his speech strictly to the 

 motion under discussion or to a question of order. No member shall 

 be entitled to read his speech. 



24. Any member may take the opinion of the Chairman on any 

 point of order at the time when the question of order arises. The 

 Chairman's ruling shall be final. 



25. The Chaii-man may call the attention of the meeting to continued 

 irrelevancy and tedious repetition, unbecoming language, or any breach 

 of order on the part of a member, and may direct such member if 

 speaking to discontinue his speech, or in the event of persistent dis- 

 regard of the authority of the Chair, to retire for the remainder of the 

 meeting, and on his refusal to do so may order his removal from the 

 room. 



26. No member (except he rises on a point of order) may interrupt 

 the speech of another member. No member may impute motives or 

 use offensive expressions to any member of the Hunt. 



27. No member shall address the meeting more than once on any 

 motion or amendment except the mover of an original resolution, who 

 shall be allowed to reply, but he shall strictly confine himself to 

 answering previous speakers, and shall not introduce any new matter 

 into the debate. The right of reply shall not extend to the mover of 

 an amendment which, having been carried, has become the substantive 

 motion. The mover of an original motion shall not reply on the 

 debate until called on by the Chairman. Any member may speak in 

 explanation of some material part of a speech made by him which he 

 believes to have been misunderstood. After the reply the further 

 question shall be put forthwith without further debate.
