SUMMARY OF SESSION The Second Session of the Forty Ninth Parliament commenced on 27 October 1998 and continued until 5 August 1999. In the period the House sat for 51 days (including Estimates Committees). The issue of the sale of the state electricity assets again dominated the proceedings, although the actual Bills were only before the House for a very short period of time. The package of Bills was restored in the Legislative Council and remained there for the rest of the Session, while behind the scenes manoeuvring took place. Finally they were passed, albeit with a significant amendment to change the proposed sale of the assets to a 100 year lease. Statistically, the House considered 93 Bills during the session, of which 76 passed into law. 81 petitions were presented and 236 Questions placed on the Notice Paper.
