I have to report to the House that on 9 January 2020 I received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating changes to the membership of certain committees. In accordance with standing order 229(b), as the House was not expected to sit for several weeks, the appointments became effective on that date. I now call the minister to move a motion to resolve the membership of the committees.

I move:

That:

(1) Mr van Manen be discharged from the Standing Committee on Procedure and that, in his place, Mr Vasta be appointed a member of the committee;

(2) Mr van Manen be discharged from the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit and that, in his place, Mr Vasta be appointed a member of the committee.

Question agreed to.
