many pages of debate on 13 May, what do we refer to? We refer again and again on page after page to the concerns of the police rescue service and the trouble with the Fire Brigade over who should run that service. Again and again it is there.

I quoted earlier Mr Moore's statement:

It seems to me that we should accept that the inquiry proposed by Mr Humphries is one that says, "Okay; now what are the next steps?".

At no time did he suggest that the debate was not about the key issue Mr Humphries had clearly said it was about.

Mr Connolly: Yes, he did. He said that his support was conditional on its being forward looking and not canvassing decisions made.

MR STEVENSON: As to the matter being forward looking, there was also reference to going over past decisions and recommendations by inquiries, not the matter you were trying to suggest. Once again, a reading of the debate will show that, and I suggest that people do just that. Mr Connolly put the point well when he said that if it had been so resolved he would stand condemned. Indeed he should be.

Question put:

That the amendment (Mr Humphries's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 6  NOES, 11 

Mrs Carnell Mr Berry
Mr Cornwell Mr Connolly
Mr De Domenico Ms Ellis
Mr Humphries Ms Follett
Mr Kaine Mrs Grassby
Mr Westende Mr Lamont
 Ms McRae
 Mr Moore
 Mr Stevenson
 Ms Szuty
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.
