    "content": " Indeed, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to seek your guidance on this issue under our Standing Orders. This is a Motion and not a Bill. Therefore, it has no maturity period. We know that Bills have a maturity period and not Motions. Our Standing Orders do not specify or state after how long a Sessional Paper should be discussed after it has been laid on the Table of the House. We have had cases where a Sessional Paper is laid on the Table of the House in the morning and we discuss it in the afternoon. We have had cases where a Sessional Paper has been laid on the Table of the House and after Question Time it is debated. So, there is nothing barring this House from proceeding with this debate. Secondly, time is of essence on this issue as we are meant to understand that the House might go on recess tomorrow. Therefore, since there is nothing barring this House from discussing this Motion--- Hon. Members will have the opportunity to read this voluminous report as we debate this Motion. I beg that we proceed with the Motion."
