Item 3 is the Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation. Members have a note that has been prepared by the clerks and the legislative consent memorandum that has been lodged by Cathy Jamieson, the Minister for Justice. Legislative consent memoranda were formerly known as Sewel motions, I believe.
I make the obvious comment that it is disappointing that the Westminster Parliament has inadvertently created a situation in which our minister has to undertake additional work. I agree entirely with the clerk's paper, but it is disappointing that things have had to be dealt with in this way.
Under rule 9B.3.5 of standing orders, we are required to submit a short report on the matter. As members have nothing further to say, we are content to note the memorandum. If members wish to support Stewart Stevenson's point—
I am content that my point will be in the Official Report. It need not be incorporated in our report to the Parliament.
Thank you. That is helpful.
