Vol. 261 No. 6

Finance (No. 2) Bill, 1971: Committee Stage (Resumed).

Question again proposed: "That section 4, as amended, stand part of the Bill."

Because this Bill is a rather complex measure it is proposed by agreement to refer it, under Standing Order No. 91, to a Special Committee of the House. For convenience, however, it is proposed also by agreement to pass the remaining sections of the Bill together with the official amendments thereto in the present Committee and to recommit the Bill as so amended to the Special Committee together with such unofficial amendments as may be desired. I intend to move a motion to that effect at the end of the present Stage. Unofficial amendments may be retabled for consideration by the Special Committee.

On a point of procedure, I suggest, respectfully, there are no such amendments as "official" or "unofficial" amendments in this House. Amendments may be tabled by Ministers but these are not official amendments. Members of this House are entitled to table amendments and not to have them described as "unofficial" amendments. This is a Parliament and should operate as such. It should not operate as an Assembly for processing official suggestions.

May I reply to that by saying that Deputy Ryan and every other Deputy in the House understood what I meant? If he feels that strongly about the phrase used, he and his colleagues should not refer to officials in their contributions. I think we understand each other in regard to what I was talking about.

Can the Minister say what is meant by recommitting unofficial amendments that are desirable?

I did not say that. I said "such unofficial amendments as may be desired". That is not the same as desirable.

Surely all amendments should be recommitted.

That is a matter for the people who put them down.

Is it the position that we endorse formally the Committee Stage of the Bill and the Minister's amendments, that the Bill will then reappear before the Special Committee in a redrafted form incorporating the Minister's amendments, that it will be open to the Opposition or anybody else to put down an amendment to delete any of the Ministerial amendments and that all the amendments from Members of the House other than from the Minister will be put down again for reconsideration by the Special Committee?

That is it.

Section 4, as amended, agreed to.
