That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (11.32): The Labor Party supports this Bill. This is a machinery amendment, Mr Speaker. As I indicated earlier, the Labor Party was not all that comfortable with the committee structure that we have developed this time around, but we have had that debate. We accept this as a very useful and necessary amendment, Mr Speaker.
