On select committee business, members will be aware that the International Development Association (Amendment) Bill 2003 was referred to the select committee on 3 June. It is intended to consider the Bill at 5.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 29 June. The next meeting of the joint committee will take place next Wednesday, 23 June, at 2.30 p.m. when the committee will meet a delegation from the culture and media committee of the German parliament. As the Minister for Finance is answering questions on that day, we will have no other major substantive issue on the schedule in case members cannot be present.
The joint committee adjourned at 2.45 p.m. until 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 23 June 2004.
