Ossei-Aidoo, Deputy Majority Leader, announced these when he presented the
Business Statement for the second week ending 25 October 2002.
He said the Shipping
Bill and others, which were presented to the House during its last meeting
before the recess would be taken through the various stages of legislation.
During the week, the ministers of the following ministries, Work and Housing,
Energy, Foreign Affairs, Lands and Forestry, Finance, Communications and
Technology and Women and Children's Affairs would appear before the House to
answer questions.
Mr. John Akologo Tia,
Deputy Minority Chief Whip entreated the Business Committee to stick to the
programme schedule as any change could disturb members as well as ministers.
He also called on the
leadership to contact the Executive to release its programmes early enough to
avoid the last hour pressure it normally exert on the house to rush through
business.
