K. M. Byrne

The Minister for Labour and Law (Mr K. M. Byrne): Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to introduce a Bill intituled "An Ordinance to facilitate the enforcement of maintenance orders."

Bill read the First time.

Mr Speaker: Second Reading, what day?

Mr Byrne: 3rd of September. We will have a lot of Bills on 2nd of September.

Mr Speaker: I would suggest that possibly the 2nd of September would suit the Minister just as well, because it is possible for any items unfinished on the 2nd of September to spill over to the 3rd.

Mr Byrne: 2nd of September, then, Sir.

Mr Speaker: So be it.
