by leave—I move that members be appointed as members of certain committees in accordance with the list which has been placed on the table. As the list is a lengthy one, I do not propose to read the list to the House. Details will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Mr Hayes be discharged from the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement and that, in his place, Ms O'Neil be appointed a member of the committee.

Mr Pasin be discharged from the Committee of Privileges and Members' Interests and that, in his place, Mr Vasta be appointed a member of the committee.

Mr L. S. O'Brien be discharged from the Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities and that, in his place, Mr Gee be appointed a member of the committee, and Mrs Sudmalis be appointed a supplementary member of the committee for the purpose of the committee's inquiry into the development of cities.
