Text

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I just want clarity. Obviously, there has been an attempt from the Alliance Party to close down a legitimate debate on a private Member's Bill. Can I seek guidance from the Speaker? It is important that the House hears from the Minister responsible, as the Bill mandates her Department to take on significant responsibilities, which Members have highlighted considerable concerns about. Can the Speaker please advise how Members can be assured that the Minister has an opportunity to brief the House in clear terms about the Bill?
