Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 10th May, 2022. On Tuesday, 10th May, 2022, the SBC will meet to consider Bills at the Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages, Motions, Petitions and Statements that will form part of the business for the week. The projected business for 10th May, 2022, will be business that will not have been concluded in today’s Order Paper and any other business scheduled by the committee.

In this respect, I urge that we redouble our efforts and ensure that the divisions at the Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages are undertaken expeditiously.
