Joint Committee on the Secondary Legislation of the European Communities debate -
Wednesday, 3 May 1978

Pairing Arrangements.

Would it be possible through the Whips of the various parties to get some kind of arrangement about pairing during meetings of the Joint Committees for divisions because they really do disrupt business?

We cannot get back into the trend of discussion again——

I will raise that point with the Party Whips.

When are we going to have the next meeting of the Joint Committee?

There are a number of sub-Committee meetings to be held and we are trying to arrange that there would not be more than one meeting a week—that was the decision when we raised this matter before. All the Sub-Committees will have to meet at least once before we have any business for a Joint Committee meeting. The only business that we have for a Joint meeting is Senator FitzGerald's report and there is some controversy about it. That completes the business of this meeting. Thank you very much.

The Joint Committee adjourned at 5.00 p.m.
