    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I empathise with the Members in terms of the frustration they get in getting answers at the right time. I would like to advise Members to consider whether to get information through a Statement or a Question. The route of the Question is that it is answered in the committee by the Cabinet Secretary. So, a Member has an opportunity to interrogate the answer directly. The Statement is read on the Floor of the House and the Chair may not be able to have all the background information to answer all the questions. That is something Members may want to consider, whether to get answers through a Statement, which is read on the Floor of the House or through a Question. Matters that are urgent in nature are responded through Questions by Private Notice, which are answered within a very short time before they are interrogated before Government officials who come at that level. Perhaps, it is a better route than seeking Statements or filing Petitions which a Member may not get the benefit of interrogating the answer that is given. Then we can, at least, let Committee Chairmen concentrate on processing Bills that we have also placed in committees. That is the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
