    "content": "Order, hon. Members. I am made to understand now that there is a letter from this Ministry seeking to have this Question deferred to another date. Under normal circumstances, the Ministry should have done this letter much earlier so that this Question would not have appeared on the Order Paper today. This means the Ministry did not do its job right. This is a belated request. I want to reiterate again that the Standing Orders have changed since the beginning of the Session. The Standing Orders take very grave view of both Members of Parliament who fail to appear to ask their Questions and Ministers who are also not in a position to answer their Questions when they appear on the Order Paper. This information should be delivered very specifically to the Ministry in question. This is not something that the Chair will entertain again. The Chair, as we have said before, will implement and enforce the provisions of the Standing Orders to the letter. It is considered disorderly for a Minister not to be available or to be around with an answer when the Question appears on the Order Paper. Nonetheless, I will allow this Question to appear again on the Order Paper on Wednesday, next week. Could somebody from the Government side give an undertaking that this information will be communicated to the Minister concerned?"
