The committee took into account all the submissions received and especially the Freeman report, which, in my opinion, was invaluable and very thorough in its summary of all the pros and the cons.
I wish to thank the other two members of the committee, who took on board the questions I would like to have asked had I been able to be present during the public hearings. Unfortunately, I was not able to. Whilst I was not able to contribute to the hearings, I was able to read all the submissions and the Freeman report somewhat more thoroughly than I would normally have had time to do. Once again I thank my fellow committee colleagues and commend the report to the Assembly. I would also like to thank the committee secretary, Bill Symington, for his hard work in compiling the report in a relatively short time. It has been said many times recently that we are well served in this Assembly by the committee secretariat, and I gladly add my support to those sentiments.
Debate (on motion by Mr Kaine) adjourned.
