Annual Report

The Convener:

Item 6 is our consideration of a paper on the committee's annual report. I refer members to the paper that sets out our draft report for the parliamentary year 7 May 2003 to 6 May 2004. The format of the report follows the style that was agreed by the Conveners Group. I ask members whether they have any comments to make.

Mr Maxwell:

I have one comment on the first paragraph. It says that we have

"reported on three proposals for Sewel motions"

Have we not done three already? I am losing track of them but, if we have done three already and we have another one coming up, which is the Sewel motion on civil partnership registration, should the number of Sewel motions not be four?

The Convener:

The three proposals on which the committee has reported are the Gender Recognition Bill, Civil Contingencies Bill and the Justice (Northern Ireland) Bill. We may not have reported on the Sewel motion on civil partnership registration by the time of the deadline, which is why the report gives three as the total.

If there are no further comments on the draft annual report, I ask members to agree the report.

Members indicated agreement.
