SCRUTINY OF BILLS AND SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Reports and Statement
MRS GRASSBY: I present reports Nos 16 and 17 of 1992 of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation. I seek leave to make a brief statement on the reports.
Leave granted.
MRS GRASSBY: Report No. 16, which I have just presented, was circulated to members on 27 October 1992, pursuant to the committee's resolution of appointment. Report No. 17 contains the committee's comments on nine pieces of subordinate legislation and three government responses. I commend the reports to the Assembly.

I should make it clear to the Assembly that the Liberal Party has considered very carefully the proposition put to us by Mr Moore that his terms of reference should be extended until June. We have to take into account the original terms of reference. The committee was asked to do three things.
