    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Orders 120, 122 and 126 relating to Publication, Procedure upon Publication and First Reading of Bills and Standing Order 210(2) relating to Tabling of Statutory Instruments, this House orders that during the Long Recess of the Fifth Session (3rd December, 2021 – 24th January, 2022) – (i) should a Bill be published during the said period, or a published Bill become due for First Reading, the Speaker shall, upon lapse of at least three days following the publication of the Bill and following a determination that such Bill is of priority, forthwith refer such Bill to the relevant Committee for consideration pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 127 (Committal of Bills to Committees and public participation) and cause the Bill to be read a First Time upon its next Sitting and the Second Reading may be taken forthwith, or on such other day as the House Business Committee may determine; (ii) should any statutory instrument be transmitted for tabling before the House during the 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 upon its next Sitting in accordance with the provisions of section 11 of the Statutory Instruments Act (No. 3 of 2013); and, (iii) should any Paper be transmitted for tabling before the House, the Speaker shall, following a determination that the Paper is of priority, forthwith refer the Paper to the relevant Committee for consideration and cause the Paper to be tabled in the House upon its next Sitting. Hon. Members, this is a routine Motion that we pass at the adjournment of every session to facilitate how business will be handled, because we will not have opportunity for a Bill to be read a First Time so that it can be referred to the relevant Committee for processing. So, any Bill that will come during this period, including the private Members’ Bills that you will generate for next year, once it is determined they are of priority, will then be referred to the relevant Committee as if it had been read the First Time to be processed. When we next assemble, we can proceed automatically to the Second Reading of that Bill. This is basically to ensure there is no lapse in terms of process. And we do this every recess period. I seek your endorsement of this Motion so that as we leave today we are able to do things on a continuous basis. I beg to move and ask Hon. Sankok to second."
