the Assembly's Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee still retains power to ensure that public consultation does occur where it is appropriate, and, of course, the Assembly in turn. It seemed to us that the convenience of what is now perceived to be a minor change is quite appropriate. We have no difficulties with the other clauses of the Bill and therefore, Mr Deputy Speaker, can indicate that we are quite happy to support it.
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (3.37), in reply: Mr Deputy Speaker, I would add one thing to the comments of Mr Moore. As Minister, I too am able to see that further public consultation does take place. All the safeguards and all the openness that we would want are still secured in the Act.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
POSTPONEMENT OF ORDER OF THE DAY
MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister) (3.38): Mr Deputy Speaker, I seek leave to move a motion to postpone order of the day No. 3, Executive business.
Leave granted.
MR BERRY: I move:
That order of the day No. 3, Executive business, relating to the Business Franchise (Tobacco and Petroleum Products) (Amendment) Bill 1993, be postponed until a later hour this day.
Mr Moore: Would you like to explain why?
MR BERRY: Because Mr Humphries wants to speak on the matter and he and Mr Connolly are out of the chamber. It was proposed, and I thought you were aware of it, that we put it off until a later hour today so that it can be discussed by those people who are interested in it.
Mr Moore: I am happy.
MR BERRY: I knew that you would be.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
