I move:
That the period for reporting back of the Joint Committee on Marriage Breakdown be extended to the 2nd April, 1985.
In moving the motion I should like to make a short statement. The joint committee at their meeting yesterday morning learned with regret of the illness of the clerk of the committee. Because of this it was not possible to have the report printed, assembled and circulated to Members in time for a formal adoption by the joint committee. In the circumstances the committee decided unanimously to refer formal adoption of the report to Wednesday next, 27 March, and to defer presentation of the report to both Houses until Tuesday, 2 April, 1985.
