It will come back but it may not come back for debate. If the Deputy has comments to make on it I advise him to attend the meeting of the committee, which he is entitled to do.

No, not necessarily. It will come back for noting of the committee's report, and the motion will be approved. If the Deputy wishes to contribute on it he is entitled to do so in the committee.
