Withdrawal of Amendments

Item 3 concerns a self-explanatory paper that seeks to iron out a little omission in the standing orders. The orders do not provide for the withdrawal of amendments to motions. The paper proposes to cover the withdrawal of amendments to motions with the same procedural cloak that covers the withdrawal of motions.

If members are content with the proposals in the report, those will be included in one of our routine reports to Parliament on changes to the standing orders so that they can be implemented. Are members happy with the report?

Members indicated agreement.

That concludes the committee's business. Thank you very much for attending.
