I give notice that on the next sitting day, I shall move to withdraw business of the Senate notice of motion No. 1 for the disallowance of Farm Household Support Secretary's Rule 2014. I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

On 16 July, the committee gave notice to disallow this instrument while it sought further information from the Minister for Agriculture relating to the delegation of the Secretary-General's rulemaking powers. Noting that the minister has undertaken to amend the Farm Household Support Act, the committee has agreed to withdraw the notice. The committee will report further on this matter through its sitting week reports in the Delegated Legislation Monitor.
