    "content": "The committee was required to review and scrutinize the Regulations within a period of 28 sitting days. The time allowed for the committee to consider the Regulations was scheduled to lapse on Tuesday, 30th July, 2024. That was yesterday. Hon. Senators, you will recall that at the sitting of the Senate held yesterday, Tuesday, 30th July, 2024, pursuant to Section 15(3) of the Statutory Instruments Act, the Chairperson of the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation gave a Notice of Motion seeking an extension of time for consideration of the aforementioned Regulations for a further period of 21 days in order to enable the committee to conclusively consider them. The substantive Motion for debate and approval, was scheduled in the Order Paper for Tuesday, 30th July, 2024, at Order No.28. The Speaker reorganized the sequence of business, pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2), after the divisions, to give this Motion priority. However, at the conclusion of the debate and in the absence of the requisite quorum for the question to be put, the Mover requested for the question to be deferred to a later date pursuant to Standing Order No.66(3). Hon. Senators, Section 15(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act requires a committee to which a statutory instrument has been referred, to table a report to Parliament, containing only a resolution that the Statutory Instrument that stands permanently referred to the committee be revoked. As earlier highlighted, Section 15(2) states that in the event that the committee does not table a report within 21 days, or such other period as the House may resolve, the Statutory Instrument shall be deemed to have been approved. The Motion before the Senate was seeking an extension for consideration of the Regulations and the failure to approve the Motion during the sitting of the Senate, held yesterday, Tuesday, 30th July, 2024, takes us back to the provisions of Section 15(2) of the Statutory Instruments Act. Hon. Senators, this being the case, the Valuers (Forms and Fees) (Amendment) Rules, Legal Notice No.69 of 2024; the Survey (Amendment) Regulations, Legal Notice No.71 of 2024; and the Land Adjudication (Amendment) Regulations, Legal Notice No.76 The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
