I'm not sure if there's going to be an amendment moved on this motion. In any case, as I understand it, I've been advised that there is some further work to do, and that makes debating this not possible this sitting, so the government won't be supporting the motion. That work will need to be done, and it will need to be brought back after the winter recess.

I seek leave to amend the motion.

Leave granted.

by leave—I move:

Omit "3 July", substitute "14 August"; and omit "4 July", substitute "15 August"

The effect of the amendment is to change the date in the motion from the Wednesday of this week to the Wednesday of the first week of the next sitting. Then, where the date in the motion relates to the Thursday of this week, the amendment seeks to change that date to the Thursday of the first week of the next sitting.

Question agreed to.
