I seek leave to amend in the terms circulated in the chamber general business notice of motion No. 757, standing in my name for today, relating to World Water Day.

Leave granted.

I ask that the amended motion be taken as a formal motion.

Is there any objection to this motion as amended being taken as formal?

I have not seen the amended form. I apologise if it has been circulated and I have not got it. I wonder if this could be postponed so I can check it.

We will defer consideration of this matter and come back to it.
