i User’s Guide Purpose: This index is designed to provide easy access to the contents of the Hansard (Debates and Proceedings) of the Sixth Session of the Thirtieth General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador (1955). 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 (1955). Bills Matters pertaining to particular legislation under a bill’s main heading are listed chronologically. When the House of Assembly was prorogued, business was 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, that 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.
