Given the number of committees to be established, Senators, and particularly Deputies, if appointed to one or more committees, will have little time to engage in constituency work. I have been out of here for some time but when I was a Member previously there were very few committees. There was the Committee of Public Accounts, the Small Businesses Committee, of which the former Deputy, Mr. Ivan Yates, was chairman, and I was a member, and a few others. Perhaps there are now too many committees. I sympathise with Members of both Houses, who will have great difficulty, as we have today, in trying to cope with the number of demands on them. Members of this House want to be Members of the other House and Members of the other House may be lucky to be in this House at some stage in the future. I wonder how the Minister of State who has been busy campaigning in his constituency and was effective on the radio today – even "Coronation Street" did not interrupt his work – can cope with his workload and come into the House for as long as is necessary.
