He does not have to have somebody’s permission to move it. The point is, Standing Order No.81 states as follows:- “A Member who wishes to speak on any matter in which the Member has a personal interest shall first declare that interest.” The Standing Order does not make a distinction between talking on a Bill or moving a Bill or contributing to a Bill or speaking on a Private Members’ Motion. It gives an impression of a blanket provision on any business that is on the Floor of the House, in which the Member has a personal interest. Now, whether remuneration for constitutional office holders is, indeed, a personal interest, or is outside the so-called “personal interest”, is an issue we are basically looking at now. Mr. Attorney-General, in your own wisdom and judgement, and being literally the leading legal personality we have in here, you are in a position to understand this."}
