Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A quorum of the House of Assembly shall be eight members not including the person presiding, of whom five are elected members.

(2)

If at any sitting of the House of Assembly any member who is present draws the attention of the person presiding at the sitting to the absence of a quorum and, after such interval as may be prescribed in Standing Orders, the person presiding at the sitting ascertains that a quorum of the House is still not present, the House shall be adjourned.
