Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 11 Hansard (6 November) . . Page.. 3685 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (10.39): On behalf of the Minister for Health and Community Care, I present the Mental Health (Treatment and Care) (Amendment) Bill 1997, together with its explanatory memorandum.

Title read by Acting Clerk.

MR HUMPHRIES: I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

I ask for leave to have the presentation speech incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Speech incorporated at Appendix 9.

Debate (on motion by Mr Berry) adjourned.

MS McRAE (10.40): Mr Speaker, I move:

That paragraph (3) of the resolution of the Assembly of 8 April 1997, as amended on 28 August 1997, which appointed the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98, be amended by omitting "11 November 1997" and substituting "2 December 1997".

This motion seeks to alter the reporting date on consideration by the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98 of the annual reports and financial statements. The motion has agreement all around the house and has been necessitated because not all the annual reporting requirements fall under the same reporting date requirement. As a consequence, both Totalcare and the TAB have only just reported. The committee felt it was important to examine those annual reports. It is one of the responsibilities of the committee. As a consequence, we are seeking to delay the reporting date. I commend members for their support of the motion.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
