    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In a very short way, I want to say something on the subject that we are discussing about the casualness in terms of how the CSs respond to some of our questions. I think one of the biggest problems is the whole idea that all the blame ends up with committees. That is because the CSs are not seen in the full glamour and do not respond sometimes because of the media and that kind of stuff. So many questions end at that level because of the causal manner in which they present them; meaning that a Member has to again follow up. If you are dissatisfied, you either have to follow up with the CS back in the Ministry and stuff like that. I think that is where there is a big problem. At the point at which we are looking at our Standing Orders, we need to revisit this area. The Committee on Implementation needs to pick up all these matters which the CSs present before committees and follow up for purposes of ensuring whatever they promise works. If we are not careful, there is a lot we are doing, which is in vain. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
