this week from the National Health and Medical Research Council, on whose report we wait and on whose report this decision to extend the use of fluoride in our water was made.
Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Considering the content of the rest of the debate, I cannot see how it can have relevance!
MR SPEAKER: I note Mr Moore's observation. Please continue, Mr Wood.
MR WOOD: As you know, the report has been deferred as we wait for information from a United States study. I understand that the committee examining certain research there will meet in July, and the working party of the National Health and Medical Research Council expects to meet in August and September. It will then complete its report and that report will be submitted to the next meeting of the National Health and Medical Research Council itself, scheduled for early November. That is the time frame that we now seem to be looking at.
MR HUMPHRIES (Minister for Health, Education and the Arts) (5.57): I just want to say that I think the debate has been helpful. Perhaps I should not say that. Perhaps I should just say that I commend the Bill to the house.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion (by Mr Collaery) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
D-Day Anniversary
MR JENSEN (5.58): Mr Speaker, members may recall recent publicity about the events of May 1940, when there was a small ships invasion of Europe to evacuate members of the British Expeditionary Force from France, from the beaches of Dunkirk. My colleague Dr Kinloch referred to that yesterday - an event that he himself witnessed. I am sure that was a very interesting experience, particularly for him as he later became an historian.
