I understand that it is proposed to refer this Bill to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence, pursuant to Standing Orders 84A(3)(a) and 149(1). Does the Minister wish to move the order of referral now?

I can do so but it is regrettable that the Opposition spokespersons are not here now. Had they been here, perhaps we could have dealt with the Bill entirely.

On that point, I do not think the relevant Deputies expected that we would be dealing with this Bill at this point in time.

I move:
That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence, pursuant to Standing Orders 84A(3)(a) and 149(1) of the Standing Orders relative to Public Business.
