    "content": "Once the Motion has been seconded and the Question proposed, the Motion will be debated pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.53. Thereupon, any Member who wishes to propose amendments to the Draft Constitution may do so, provided that the amendment shall relate to a specific Article or Schedule contained in the Draft Constitution. In order to have an orderly consideration of the Draft Constitution, any proposed amendments will be framed in the following manner:- “That, pursuant to the provisions of Section 33(4) of the Review Act, this House approves the Draft Constitution submitted by the Committee of Experts and laid on the Table of the House on the 2nd March, 2010 subject to deletion or insertion of the following words, article, clause or schedule as the case may be.” Every proposed amendment shall be signed by the proposer and handed over to the Clerk pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.54 commencing after the question of the Motion has been proposed. The amendments will then be handed over to the legal counsel for drafting and harmonization with other provisions in the Draft Constitution. In order to abide by the practice established by the House on consideration of a Bill, any such proposed amendments once approved, will be annexed on the Order Paper. Hon. Members, for the convenience of the House, I direct that all proposed amendments that will have been received by the rise of the House on Wednesday the 24th March, 2010 afternoon sitting, be appended to the Order Paper for the House to begin considering them from Thursday, 25th March, 2010. In the meantime, Members contributing to the Motion will restrict themselves to the general debate. To allow Members who will have already spoken to the Question to move amendments, I order that the provision of Standing Order No.74 relating to speaking more than once to a Question shall not apply to them and will, therefore, be permitted to move their amendments."
