Official Report: Minutes of Evidence

The Chairperson (Mr Gildernew): I welcome to the meeting Sinead Wylie and John Noble from the Department for Communities.

Members, if you have any final comments, please alert me before I read out the formal Question on whether the Committee is content with the clause as drafted or amended.

The Chairperson (Mr Gildernew): That concludes the Committee's formal clause-by-clause consideration of the Child Support Enforcement Bill. I thank the departmental officials John Noble, Sinead Wylie and John McIlwaine for their support and patience with our queries. I also thank Aoibheann Baker from the Assembly's Bill Office and Eleanor Murphy from the Assembly's Research and Information Service for their support. Finally, I thank the Committee staff for their work to facilitate our scrutiny of the Bill.

A draft Committee report has been included in our meeting papers. I ask members to read the report ahead of next week's meeting, when we will formally agree it. If you have any suggested changes or amendments in the interim, I ask you to contact the Committee Clerk for advice. That concludes the item. I can now thank the officials and let them go back to their work. Thank you for attending.
