MRS DUNNE: Scrutiny report No 17 contains the committee’s comments on the Civil Partnerships Amendment Bill and one government response. The committee also considered the implications of the fact that it had not considered the government amendments to this bill, which is now proposed for amendment.
The committee discussed the year’s operation of the current standing orders, and it is the committee’s view that the Assembly should revisit the standing orders and look at ways of ensuring the referral of all amendments to all bills to the scrutiny of bills committee. The committee has resolved that I should write to Mr Speaker to ask that the matter be considered by the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure. I commend the report to the Assembly.
