Constitution Act 1934

Where the sittings of both or either of the Houses shall stand adjourned, and, in the opinion of the Governor, it is desirable that Parliament shall be called together for the despatch of business before the expiration of such adjournment, the Governor, by proclamation, may declare that Parliament shall meet on such day, not being less than 6 days after the date of such proclamation, as may be therein specified.

When Parliament stands prorogued to a certain day and, in the opinion of the Governor, it is desirable that Parliament shall be called together for the despatch of business before the day to which it is prorogued, the Governor may, by proclamation, prorogue Parliament to such earlier date, not being less than 6 days after the date of the proclamation, as may be therein specified, and in such a case Parliament stands prorogued to that date notwithstanding the previous prorogation.

Every order which shall have been made by either House and appointed for the day to which such House was so adjourned, or for any subsequent day, shall be deemed to have been appointed for the day on which Parliament shall meet in pursuance of a proclamation under subsection (1), but this provision shall not extend or apply to any such order that shall have been specially appointed by such House for a particular day and declared, notwithstanding any meeting of Parliament, to be so fixed, or to any order made under any Act.
