Mr REITH (Minister for Industrial Relations)(5.02 p.m.) —I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

This bill is one of a package of four bills which will introduce a registration charge to fund the assessment of existing chemicals by the national industrial chemicals notification and assessment scheme under the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989. This bill will impose a charge on the manufacture or importation into Australia of certain industrial chemicals to the extent that the charge is not a duty of customs or excise. I present the explanatory memorandum to the bill and commend the bill to the House.

Debate (on motion by Mr Martin) adjourned.
