    "content": "THAT, considering that the Government has failed to honour the provisions of Standing Order No.2 on the appointment of the Leader of Government Business; considering further that the absence of the Leader of Government Business has adversely affected the Business of the House; concerned that the duties of the Leader of Government Business are now shared between two Government Chief Whips, this Houses resolves, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.200, that the Procedure and House Rules Committee consider the following proposals for amendment to the Standing Orders and submit a report to this House within two weeks. The Standing Orders be amended:- (i) Sub-paragraph (a) of Standing Order No.2 by deleting the definition of Leader of Government Business and substituting therefor the following new definition:- “Leader of Government Business means Minister designated by the President as Leader of Government Business in the House” (ii) By deleting paragraph 2 of Standing Order No.11 and substituting therefor, the following new paragraph 2:- “At the commencement of every Session or from time to time as necessity may arise, the Leader of Government Business, with the approval of the President shall nominate two hon. Members being Ministers who shall be known respectfully as the first and Second Deputy Leader of Government Business.” (iii) By deleting paragraph 6 of Standing Order No.158 and substituting therefor the following new paragraph 6. “The Leader of Government Business shall be the Chairperson of the House Business Committee”"
