Parliamentary Committees: Motions.

 

On the general point of whether it is good business for this to arrive on the Order Paper without a full and frank discussion beforehand, I agree with Senator O'Toole. There should have been a debate prior to this, possibly at the Committee on Procedures and Privileges, which would have allowed all the groups to make a contribution before this formulation was produced on the Order Paper. The current formula of four Members creates difficulties not just for the Labour and Independent benches but for us. Some form of negotiation should take place now so that all Members who wish to make a contribution can do so.
