Joint Committee on the Operation of the Transplantation and Anatomy Act 1983

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:25): I move:

That the standing orders be so far suspended as to enable me to move an instruction without notice to the Joint Committee on the Operation of the Transplantation and Anatomy Act 1983.

Motion carried.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: I move:

1. That it be an instruction to the Joint Committee on the Operation of the Transplantation and Anatomy Act 1983 that the joint committee be authorised to disclose or publish, as it thinks fit, any evidence or document presented to the joint committee prior to such evidence and documents being reported to parliament.

2. That standing order No. 396 be suspended to enable strangers to be admitted when the joint committee is examining witnesses, unless the joint committee otherwise resolves, but they shall be excluded when the joint committee is deliberating.

3. That a message be sent to the House of Assembly transmitting part 1 and requesting its concurrence thereto, and advising the House of Assembly of part 2 of this resolution.

Very simply, I note that this is a procedural motion in order that the Joint Committee on the Operation of the Transplantation and Anatomy Act 1983 have the means to have evidence heard in public. It was an administrative oversight.

Motion carried.
