    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the following Bills from 14 days to eight days — 1. The National Lottery Bill (National Assembly Bill No.69 of 2023); and, 2. The Gambling Control Bill (National Assembly Bill No.70 of 2023). You will realise that we only have about one calendar month to dispense with all the business in this House within this very busy session. We have many Bills that are lined up in this House to follow all the procedures and it is only imperative that we try as much as possible to condense the procedures that we have. The publication period should not be very short or very long so that we are able to dispense with this business right in time. There is the National Lottery Bill, which is very crucial, and the Gambling Control Bill which has been debated in this House previously. There has been an issue that every person has interest and people have really shared a lot about gambling matters in this country. We felt it wise to reduce the publication period from 14 days to eight days. That is not too long or too short. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move and ask Hon. Rahim to second."
