that this budget cut for the police was debated in isolation from this overlap in the rescue services. It is something that will require looking into in future budgets.
Mr Speaker, I am pleased to have been able to participate in all three estimates committees and to have done the work that has made these reports possible. We should never underestimate the amount of work that was done by the secretary of the committee, Ms Karin Malmberg. I know that it has been mentioned before, but all members here would feel that it is appropriate to give that credit to Ms Malmberg again and again because of the fantastic effort she put in and the tremendously long hours worked by her in particular and by other members of the committee support staff. That certainly should not be left unsaid. It should be made very clear that it is appreciated by all members. I appreciate the fact that everybody was saying "Hear, hear" as I made those comments. Mr Speaker, on that note, I would like to say thank you.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Mr Humphries: Aren't you going to respond? You should have adjourned the debate so that you can respond on the next occasion.
Ms Follett: Can I adjourn the debate, Mr Speaker?
MR SPEAKER: It is gone.
Ms Follett: I am responding anyway.
Mr Collaery: Can we suspend standing orders to allow the vote on that motion to be retaken?
MR SPEAKER: Certainly, if you wish to, we could. If the Chief Minister wishes to seek leave of the Assembly to present a response, she may do so later and members could speak to that again.
Sitting suspended from 5.49 to 8.00 pm
