and the Truck (Amendment) Bill 1990; together with 11 pieces of subordinate legislation and two Government responses.
Report No. 15 was circulated to members on 2 October 1990 in accordance with the committee's resolution of appointment. I commend the reports to the Assembly. I would like to take the opportunity, through the Attorney-General, to thank the Law Office for providing the committee with such comprehensive and well researched answers to questions we have asked, especially relating to door-to-door trading.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO MEMBER
MR COLLAERY (Deputy Chief Minister) (3.17): I move:
That leave of absence from 18 October to 1 November inclusive be given to Ms Maher on the grounds of private business overseas.
Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker: We have already had a precedent set here by Mr Collaery and it is appropriate that he remove the grounds.
MR COLLAERY: I am quite happy to do that. I move:
That leave of absence from 18 October to 1 November inclusive be given to Ms Maher.
Mr Moore: If you want to explain, that is fine.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Would you like to explain, to put it on the record?
MR COLLAERY: Firstly, there is some divergence developing in terms of precedent in the Assembly. I understand that this was the verbiage used when Mrs Grassby was granted leave last year and the Clerk's office proposed to me that this be the terminology; but on reflection I think I agree that the later rule is the better one, since I moved the change to it.
Mr Deputy Speaker, Ms Maher is travelling abroad to the United States, not on anything other than private business. I wish her well on that trip.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
