    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Today, I will be holding brief for the Leader of the Majority Party. 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, 18th February 2025, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. With regard to business scheduled for Tuesday next week, the House is expected to consider the following Government and individual Members’ Bills at Second Reading, some of which are already listed in today’s Order Paper: 1. The Equalisation Fund (Administration) Bill, (Senate Bill No. 14 of 2023); 2. The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, 2022 3. The Insurance Professionals Bill, 2024; 4. The Culture Bill, 2024; 5. The Public Finance Management (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, 2024; 6. The Institute of Social Work Professionals Bill, 2023; 7. The Gold Processing Bill, 2023; 8. The National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024; 9. The Basic Education Bill (Amendment) Bill, 2023; and, 10. The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No. 37 of 2023). Additionally, the Committee on Selection, which I chair, will conclude its consideration of the list of Members proposed to be appointed to eighteen (18) lapsed Committees, including any consequential changes to other Committees. It is important to inform you that this will be concluded next week on Tuesday because it has been a topic on peoples’ lips. In this regard, next week, the House will consider the Motion on Reconstitution of Other Lapsed Committees, in addition to the Motion on Ratification of the Agreement for the Establishment of the Africa Finance Corporation. As Members will recall, you issued a Communication guiding the House that the Liaison Committee would consider the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2024/2025, the 2025 Budget Policy Statement and the Debt Management Strategy. This was occasioned by the delayed reconstitution of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. As Members have noticed in the Supplementary Order Paper for today, I intend to move a Motion for an extension of the period for consideration of the BPS and the Debt Management Strategy to allow the Liaison Committee more time. This has already been done after you re- ordered the Order Paper. As the leadership, we urge the Liaison Committee, working with the Departmental Committees, to fast-track the consideration of the two budget documents and the Supplementary Estimates II, to enable the House to conclude them the soonest.
