MR WESTENDE: I wish to inform the Assembly that on 6 September 1993 the Standing Committee on Tourism and ACT Promotion resolved to inquire into and report by the last sitting day in June 1994 on all steps necessary for the ACT Government to create an international airport for the ACT. I invite any member wishing to make a contribution to this inquiry to do so at the appropriate time.

SOCIAL POLICY - STANDING COMMITTEE
Refere
nce - Mental Welfare Bill Exposure Draft and Crimes (Amendment) Bill Exposure Draft

MR BERRY (Minister for Health, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (4.13): I seek leave to move a motion to refer the Mental Welfare Bill exposure draft and the Crimes (Amendment) Bill exposure draft to the Standing Committee on Social Policy.

Leave granted.

MR BERRY: I move:

That orders of the day Nos 39 and 40, executive business, relating to the Mental Welfare Bill exposure draft and the Crimes (Amendment) Bill exposure draft, be referred to the Standing Committee on Social Policy for inquiry and report by 16 December 1993.

This package of legislation arises from the Balancing Rights report, which members will recall relates to the delivery of mental welfare services throughout the community - a very important report which was a preliminary to the exposure drafts that were placed on the table by the Labor Government a short time ago.
