    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2) (a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC), which met on Tuesday, 16th November 2021, to prioritise business for consideration. Let me begin by thanking Members for their dedication and active participation in the debate in the last two days, when we have sat till late in the evening. We have had commendable progress in processing the business before us. However, and I am sure Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you share this concern with me, I wish to note that Members whose business is scheduled for consideration need to be present in the House to avoid the repercussion that comes with failure to show up. Taking yesterday, for example, there was a Committee Report and several individual Members’ Bills which had been slotted in the Order Paper and were reached, but none of the Members was available to move them. I hope Members who are sponsoring the ones slotted for today will be present. It is evident that we have very limited time to consider all the pending business. We are also aware that next week, the House will proceed on its long recess. I, therefore, wish to ask Members to cooperate and sacrifice a few hours in the evening to join the House in expediting the consideration of the pending business. I want to thank Members for agreeing to also sacrifice Thursday morning to expedite the consideration of pending business. 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."
