I propose that we adjourn.
Business of Select Sub-Committee
We cannot under Standing Orders.
I suggest we adjourn and whoever wants to can oppose that. Is that agreed?
No.
Who can propose an adjournment under Standing Orders?
Where are we at the moment?
We are halfway through the sections.
Could we do the next section and then adjourn? Section 64 deals with carbon taxes.
We are going into a new area of excise duties.
There are 12 amendments to sections 64 to 71, inclusive, none of which has been tabled by the Opposition.
Deputy Doherty is opposing section 64, which deals with carbon tax. Is that right?
Yes.
The only problem is that we will have to have a vote if we deal with section 64.
That is right.
If I call a vote, there will have to be a vote at the end of the section.
I am in the Vice Chairman's hands.
I am in the committee's hands.
If the committee would like to adjourn, that is fine, and we can come back to it in the morning. The point was made that if we have a vote on this we will have to bring everyone back.
I will leave it in the hands of the committee. If members are all in agreement, I will go along with them. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Progress reported; Committee to sit again.
The select sub-committee adjourned at 7.50 p.m. until 11 a.m. on Wednesday, 29 February 2012.
