Business Statement

Next week, the Budget debate will conclude. Other legislation to be considered will include the remaining stages of the Appropriation (2018/19 Supplementary Estimates) Bill and the passing of the associated Imprest Supply Bill, and the first readings of the Farm Debt Mediation Bill (No 2) and the Maritime Transport (Offshore Installations) Amendment Bill. Wednesday, 25 June will be a members’ day.

I thank the Leader of the House for the update and would ask when the Government intends to progress the Health (Fluoridation of Drinking Water) Amendment Bill, which is on the Order Paper, having been reported from the Health Committee 13 months ago.

In the fullness of time and at the appropriate moment. It is not on the plan for the next sitting block but I’ll certainly let the member know when it is.
