    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is being proactive. As a House, we have developed a procedure where when we are breaking for recess, especially where the recess is going to take about three weeks like the one we have ahead of us, that for smooth functioning of this Parliament, we allow, in the event that there will be communication from the President - and this is just purely anticipatory… We are just anticipating and it has nothing to do with any possible changes in the Government. I know people will start speculating that we are speculating changes in the Government. However, in the event that, that happens, if there is any communication from the President, the Speaker will not have to wait for Parliament to reconvene or even ask Members to come back to deal with the communications from the chair. So, we are allowing the Speaker to refer the matters to the relevant committees for consideration. This will also include any possible Bills that will come from the Senate when we are out there on recess or even any other Bill that falls due. That would be after the publication period and then the committee can be seized of those Bills so that when we come back, the committees will have dealt with some Bills for us to now take them further to the Second Reading. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those many remarks, I second."
