Abolition of Poindings and Warrant Sales Bill

This is a formal item. Motion S1M-1151 is shown on the agenda.

I move,

That the Justice and Home Affairs Committee consider the Abolition of Poindings and Warrant Sales Bill at Stage 2 in the following order: section 1, the schedule, sections 2 and 3, long title.

Motion agreed to.

Members should be aware that we will move to stage 2 of the bill next Tuesday morning. On Friday, the Executive lodged 27 amendments to the bill, but I have not had a chance to study them in detail, so I do not know how substantive they are. The main issue will continue to be the time scale for commencement. I ask members to be prepared for stage 2 next Tuesday.
