RESPONSE TO FREEDOM FRONT ON PARLIAMENT FUNCTIONING

Issued by: SA Communication Service

I have been informed by the Committees Section that no meetings of National Assembly Portfolio Committee meetings have had to be cancelled. However there have been some problems with quorums that has led to meetings starting late, and this will be drawn to the attention of the Whips.

Mr Chiole is correct about the confusion over the starting time of the Internal Arrangements Committee meeting on 3 June. This was due to an administrative error.

The meeting on Parliamentary Broadcasting adjourned as the majority party was not present.

5 June 1996
