i User’s Guide Purpose: This index is designed to provide easy access to the contents of the Hansard (Debates and Proceedings) of the Second Session of the Thirty-First General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador (1958). How to search: The index is divided into two sections: Subject and Speaker. The Subject

section points the reader to various subject matters and parliamentary procedures. It is cross- referenced to assist the reader to successfully locate information. The subject entries are listed alphabetically. The Speaker

section of the index allows the reader to search by the name of the person speaking. Each main heading is further broken down alphabetically by subject matter. Finding the text: The numbers following the entries in the index refer to page numbers in the 2 bound volumes of Hansard (1958). Volume 1 includes pages [3]-352. Volume 2, includes pages 353-711. Bills Matters pertaining to legislation are listed chronologically under the title of a bill. When the House of Assembly is prorogued, business is terminated. Any bills that did not go through all stages therefore appear incomplete in the index listing.

If a bill listing in the index appears to be missing a component, this indicates that the particular stage of the bill was not referred to in Hansard. Questions In instances in the index where the Notice of Question is not listed, none was provided in the text of Hansard.
