The maritime area and foreshore (amendment) Bill is due this session. The committee issued a report on the pre-legislative consideration of the Bill on 13 February.

The ordering of business for the House is a matter for the Whips. From what I can see, the difficulty of the House in respect of its business has more to do with the failure on the part of Opposition parties and Deputies to use the time available to them to make the arguments and the case in the House and to keep the business going.
