Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 1999: First Stage.

Mr. Flanagan

I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the law relating to the prevention of corruption so as to provide for new offences of bribery and secret commission; and to provide for related matters.

An Ceann Comhairle

Is the Bill opposed?

Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (Mr. S. Brennan)

No.

Question put and agreed to.

An Ceann Comhairle

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Mr. Flanagan

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' Time."

Question put and agreed to.
