PRIVILEGES-SELECT COMMITTEE

Alteration to Resolution of Appointment

MR SPEAKER: Mr Corbell, paragraph (2) (d) of your motion needs to be amended as it reads "to be notified to the Speaker in writing by 4.00 pm on 25 May 2000".

Motion (by Mr Corbell ), by leave, agreed to:

That the resolution of the Assembly of 25 May 2000 appointing a Select Committee on Privileges be amended by omitting from paragraph (2) (d) the words "by 4.00 p.m." and substituting the words "before the adjournment".

EDUCATION, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND RECREATION-

STANDING COMMITTEE

Government Response-Alteration to Reporting Date-Printing, Circulation and Publication of Report

MS TUCKER (5.50): I seek leave to move the motion standing in my name on the notice paper relating to the alteration of the reporting date and the printing, circulation and publication of the report by the Standing Committee on Education, Community Services and Recreation on its inquiry into the government's response to recommendations of the coroner concerning the death at Quamby.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: I move:

That the resolution of the Assembly of 24 August 1999 which referred the Government's response to recommendations 1 and 3 of Coroner Somes into the death of Mark Watson to the Standing Committee on Education, Community Services and Recreation be amended by omitting "by the last sitting day of June 2000" and adding the following paragraphs:

"(2) that if the Assembly is not sitting when the Committee has completed it inquiry, the Committee may send its Report to the Speaker or, in the absence of the Speaker, to the Deputy Speaker who is authorised to give directions for its printing, circulation and publication; and

(3) the foregoing provisions of this resolution have effect notwithstanding anything contained in the Standing Orders.".

I have discussed this motion with Mr Humphries. The government was very late in getting in its submission and he is comfortable, I understand, with the committee extending the period for reporting as it has not had time to look at the government's submission.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
