    "content": "The House will also recall the Communication that was issued yesterday regarding prioritisation of legislation or legislative proposals and Bills before Committees. I wish to reiterate on behalf of the HBC that Committees are expected to fully adhere to the timelines provided for in the Standing Orders and, as communicated, should it be noted that a Committee has inordinately delayed undertaking pre-publication scrutiny of legislative proposals before it, reconsideration of committal of those legislative proposals or Bills will be done without recourse to the specific Committees.
