I move:

That the following matter be referred to the Committee of Privileges:

Whether any adverse action was taken against Mr Godwin Grech in consequence of his evidence before the Economics Legislation Committee on 19 June 2009, and, if so, whether any contempt of the Senate was committed in that regard.

Question agreed to.

I have from the President some letters that require tabling in relation to the motion moved by Senator Heffernan to the Privileges Committee and so in connection with that matter I complete the documentation by tabling the two letters from Senator Heffernan in which he raised the matter under standing order 81.
