Members, with regard to processing priority Bills and Statutory Instruments during the recess period, you will recall that on 3rd December 2020 this House ordered as follows: (i) Should a Bill be published during the recess period or a published Bill becomes due for First Reading during the period, the Speaker shall upon lapse of at least three days following the publication of the Bill and following a determination that such a Bill is of priority, forthwith refer such a Bill to the relevant Committee for consideration pursuant to the provision of Standing Order No.127 that deals with committal of Bills to Committees for public participation. Upon resumption of the House, the Speaker shall cause the Bill to be read a First Time and the Second Reading may be taken forthwith or such other day as the House Business Committee may determine. (ii) Should any Statutory Instrument be transmitted for tabling before the House during the recess period, the Speaker shall, following a determination that the Statutory Instrument is of priority, forthwith refer the Statutory Instrument to the relevant Committee for consideration and cause the Statutory Instrument to be tabled in the House at its next Sitting, in accordance to the provisions of Section 11 of the Statutory Instruments Act No.3 of 2013. Hon. Members, in furtherance to this Order of the House, I wish to report as follows: 1. The Tax Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.48 of 2020) was published on 27th November 2020 and determined to be of priority.

The Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.51 of 2020) was published on 7th December 2020 and having determined it to be a priority Bill, I referred the same to the Departmental Committee on Sports, Tourism and Culture for consideration. I also expect the Committee to table its Report this morning to pave way for consideration of the Bill in other stages. 3. The Value Added Tax (Amendment of the Rate of Tax) Order, 2020, Legal Notice No.206 of 2020 was submitted by the Cabinet Secretary to the National Treasury and Planning for tabling and consideration by the National Assembly.
