(Quorum formed)

MR SPEAKER (Mr Cornwell) took the chair and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.

MR SPEAKER: I wish to inform the Assembly that, due to the unavoidable absence of the Clerk during today's sitting, the Deputy Clerk will act as Clerk.

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (10.32): Mr Speaker, I might also inform the Assembly that the Chief Minister is absent today attending the ministerial meeting of Health Ministers and the Council of Australian Governments. In her absence I present the Health Professions Boards (Procedures) (Amendment) Bill 1997, together with its explanatory memorandum.

Title read by Acting Clerk.

MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

I seek leave to have the presentation speech incorporated in Hansard.

MR SPEAKER: Is leave granted?
