Progress Report of the Portfolio Committee on Finance on the Draft Money Bill Amendment Procedure and Related Matters Bill, dated 22 August 2008.

The Committee reported to the House on 14 August 2008 and was granted an extension to 29 August 2008 to report on the bill. (see Minutes of Proceedings of the National Assembly, dated 19 August 2008).

The Committee at subsequent deliberations on the bill found that there were aspects of the bill which required further engagement. The Committee therefore is of the view that it would not be in a position to finalise its deliberations by 29 August 2008. The Committee accordingly requests that the deadline given to it to report on the draft legislation be further extended to 30 September 2008.
