    "content": " Hon. Duale, that has been the practice, especially where business that has a time limit has come to an end and the Mover has his or her specific time to reply. The practice is that the Member can donate his or her time. Maybe, it is a discussion that the House, particularly the Procedure and House Rules Committee, can have. When the Mover has, for example, 10 minutes, he can reply in two minutes and, therefore, donate the eight minutes to Members who did not get the opportunity to speak. Where the Mover thinks he or she needs the 10 minutes, he or she will be at liberty to use all the 10 minutes. This is a discussion that we can have in the Procedure and House Rules Committee. We decide that, in replying, the Mover will not donate time to any Member. The Standing Orders do not prohibit that now. Where a Member rises and calls upon the Speaker to ask the Mover to reply, the Mover is not at liberty to donate his time while replying. That is a different circumstance. Hon. Duale, that is an issue we can keep discussing. Hon King’ara, you can have your two minutes so that we make progress."
