Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee which met on Tuesday, 3rd October 2023 to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. Hon. Speaker, as Members will recall, this week, the House received the Facilities Improvement Financing Bill (Senate Bill No.43 of 2023) and the Primary Health Care Bill (Senate Bill No.44 of 2023) from the Senate for consideration by the House and which were subsequently read a first time.
