Members, before we go to Order No.8, I wish to make a Communication which relates to the fate of the various businesses before the House and Committees, and activities of committees during the upcoming recess. Hon. Members, as you are aware, at the rise of the sitting today, the House is scheduled to proceed on a long recess, in accordance with its calendar. This marks the conclusion of the regular sittings of this part of the Fourth Session of the National Assembly in the 12th Parliament. I sincerely wish to commend Members for the diligence and commitment exhibited with regard to the business of the House, both in plenary and in Committees throughout the Session. Despite the unprecedented challenge that was brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic during this Session, the House managed to transact a number of key businesses, including passage of the 2020/2021 Budget, the Finance Act, 2020 which provided various tax reliefs in relation to mitigation efforts to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the economy; passage of several public orders and regulations relating to movement of persons across the country, sanitation and other preventative health protocols; and vetting of key State officers such as the Data Commissioner, among others. More comprehensive information on the activities of the House will be made available in the Annual Report on Business of the Assembly which is under preparation. 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."
