VICTIMS OF ABUSE IN STATE CARE (COMPENSATION) BILL
Second Reading
The PRESIDENT (17:18): Earlier this day the Hon. Mr Brokenshire introduced the Victims of Abuse in State Care (Compensation) Bill. After examination of the bill it has been noted that clause 6 in relation to payment of compensation is a money clause. Subclause (7) provides:
(7) a payment to be made under subsection (1) must be made out of the Consolidated Account (which is appropriated to the necessary extent).
As the compensation constitutes the main object of the bill, I rule that this is a money bill, which cannot be introduced in the Legislative Council. Accordingly, I rule that the bill be laid aside.
Bill laid aside.
