    "content": "Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Members, as I had communicated earlier, every Wednesday we expect to deal with an average of nine Questions. This is with the approval and sanction of the HBC. We can schedule an average of three Questions to each Cabinet Secretary, subject to the availability of Cabinet Secretaries, to break the monotony. Any Member who has filed a Question and does not show up or give any reasons for not being in the Chamber their Question will be dropped. After a Question is asked, the Member who has asked it will have the first bite at a supplementary question. Thereafter, we will allow two to a maximum of three Members to ask supplementary questions on the same Question, with priority going to the Leaders of the Majority and Minority Parties, if they are interested in those Questions, as your leaders. On an average day, we want to deal with at least three Cabinet Secretaries. If the Questions are spread thinly, then four Cabinet Secretaries at the very most. I encourage Members to be present to prosecute their Questions. Have your facts right so that you are not on a misadventure in the guise of raising Questions, so that we can get the public to understand fully this innovative way of interrogating Cabinet Secretaries on the Floor by you showing tremendous industry in what you do best to represent your constituencies. Do not bring a Question and then embark on asking things that are unrelated to the very Question that you have brought to the House, or being personal with anybody, including the Cabinet Secretaries, where it is not necessary. If a Cabinet Secretary is inadequately answering a Question, leave it to the Speaker or whoever is in the Chair to deal with that Cabinet Secretary. Thank you. Next order."
