Assembly Rule 249(3)(b) provides that a committee may, if it is considering a Bill that amends provisions of the legislation, seek the permission of the Assembly to inquire into amending other provisions of that legislation. In this regard, the Committee intends going beyond amending the sections in the Labour Relations Act, No. 66 of 1995, as envisaged in the Labour Relations Amendment Bill [B16-2012]. In order for the Committee to amend other sections of the Act over and above what is amended through the Bill as introduced, the Assembly is required to grant permission for the Committee to do so.
