The Mediation Committee, having considered the Older Persons Bill [B68B and B68D – 2003] (National Council of Provinces – sec 76), as well as the papers referred to it, reports that it has agreed to a new version of the Bill [B68F – 2003 (Reprint)].

The Committee notes with concern the technical errors that occurred in the processing and preparation of the printed version of the Bill in the National Assembly. The Committee recommends that the Presiding Officers investigate the reasons for the technical errors, and report to the Joint Rules Committee on measures to be put in place to avoid similar errors in future.
