RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL TENANCIES - DRAFT CODE OF PRACTICE
AND DISCUSSION PAPER
MAGISTRATES COURT (CIVIL JURISDICTION)
(AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1994]
Debate resumed from 24 August 1994.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with the Retail and Commercial Tenancies Draft Code of Practice and Discussion Paper and the Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1994?

Detail Stage
Bill, by leave, taken as a whole
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (4.25): This is, of course, a Bill of great significance and one that has been occupying the minds of many members of the Assembly over many months.

I have circulated a series of amendments on white paper which, together with a supplementary amendment on pink paper, may be referred to as the detailed technical amendments, and I would seek leave to move those as a block.
