relating to an inquiry into having a mammal emblem by the chair of the Standing Committee on Environment and Transport and City Services, which seems also to relate to Assembly business notice No 4.
I am seeking some guidance as to whether or not the proverbial mammal may have already bolted on this issue and whether Mr Barr’s notice under Assembly business would in fact impinge on the standing committee’s inquiry, if they have already chosen to undertake it.
