Chairperson, I move the draft resolution printed in my name on the Order Paper as follows: That Rule 239(1), which provides inter alia that the consideration of a Bill may not commence before at least three working days have elapsed since the committee's report was tabled, be suspended for the purposes of consideration of the Adjustments Appropriation Bill [B 18 - 2011] (National Assembly - sec 77) on Thursday, 24 November 2011.
Sir, I want to propose an amendment to (c), namely that the report-back period ends on 8 April. So, we are asking for an extension of 30 days, if it is approved by the meeting.
Hon Van Lingen, we are dealing with the first motion on the Order Paper. [Laughter.]
Question put: That the motion be agreed to.
IN FAVOUR: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West, Western Cape.
Motion accordingly agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
