I move:

  (1) That the order of the Senate of 4 December 2013 relating to estimates hearings for 2014 be amended as follows:

     2013-14 additional estimates, add:

and, if required, Friday, 28 February (Groups A and B)

     2014-15 budget estimates, add:

and, if required, Friday, 24 October (supplementary hearings—Groups A and B)

  (2) That, for the purposes of that order, an additional hearing of a committee considering estimates is taken to be required where any 3 members of the committee notify the chair of the requirement, in writing.

  (3) That paragraph (2) operate subject to the restriction in standing order 26(3) that not more than 4 committees shall hear evidence on the estimates simultaneously.
