It sits alongside other select committees that the House itself creates but at the start of every new Parliament we put in place this set of rules that enables the Intelligence and Security Committee to do the sorts of things that select committees do including scrutiny of bills hearing of petitions Estimates and carrying out the annual reviews. This motion is identical to the one that was put in place at the beginning of the last Parliament with one notable exception: that it regards members attending one of these meetings the Intelligence and Security Committee meetings as being present for parliamentary purposes even if the meeting is being held offsite. One of the things that we have to acknowledge about this particular committee is it will on occasion meet in a secure location and those members who are attending those meetings also need to be deemed to be present for parliamentary purposes. Other than that these are the same rules that applied in the last term of the Parliament.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): The question is that the motion be agreed to.
