Official Report: Minutes of Evidence

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): Members will recall that, at the meeting on 10 February, the Committee agreed further amendments to clauses in the Reservoirs Bill. As the report has already been signed off, the accepted amendments need to be added in an addendum. I will now take members through each section and paragraph of the addendum and seek their agreement or otherwise.

Before I go into this, do I still have time to do it?

The Committee Clerk: You have about 10 or 15 minutes.

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): Can it be done in that time?

The Committee Clerk: You can get that done, at least.

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): OK. I refer members to the executive summary. Are members content with paragraphs 1 to 20?

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): I refer members to the consideration of the recent amendments put forward by the Rivers Agency and the Committee decision. Are members content with that page in total?

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): I refer members to the details of the content of each of the appendices. Are members content?

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): I advise members that the report needs to contain the relevant extract from the minutes of today's meeting to outline the agreed content of the report. I seek agreement for the inclusion of today's minutes in the report prior to members having sight of them. Are members content?

The Chairperson (Mr Irwin): The Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development orders the Reservoirs Bill report NIA 234/11-16. Are members content?
