I propose that we have a further debate on the matter. The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food will be in House on 20 July and if we have not covered the food safety and food labelling sufficiently with the Minister I will arrange a further debate to deal specifically with the matter.

Senator O'Sullivan commented on the driving licence and what the Minister is introducing is to be welcomed. There is a review of the taxi industry at present and we will discuss that matter when the report is published.

Senator Walsh tabled an amendment to the Order of Business on the Foreshore Bill. My information is that it is emergency legislation to plug some loopholes, changing the functions from one Department to another. It will go through both Houses today. The early signature motion is to be taken after the Private Members' motion. That is an emergency legislation that will be going through. I advised the leaders of this fact last week and I do not propose to accept the amendment to the Order of Business.
