    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 44(2)(a) to make a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee which met on Tuesday, 21st March 2023 to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. Allow me to commend the leadership of both sides of the House and Members for the dedication and cooperation exhibited in the Session so far. Indeed, we have certainly set a good pace and met the statutory timelines in respect of all matters that were before the House in the first part of this Session. This includes the Budget Policy Statement and the Debt Management Strategy Paper Approval. We are now due for a short break commencing after today’s session going by our calendar of regular sittings. Hon. Speaker, Members will recall that on Tuesday this House resolved to alter its calendar for the second regular Session by varying the period for the short recess so that it commences tomorrow Friday, 24th March 2023 and ends on Monday, 10th April 2023 which is Easter Monday. The break will, therefore, be two weeks instead of one week. The House is scheduled to resume its regular sittings on Tuesday, 11th April 2023 at 2.30 p.m. to continue with the first part of the Session. Hon. Speaker, the House still awaits reports on various items of business. This period gives Committees ample time to expedite their pending business and finalise their reports on Bills, treaties, approval hearings, inquiries and response to Statements which will be brought to the House upon resumption. 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."
