    "content": "Hon. Members, the essence of this communication is not restricted to the concept of proper dress code, but extends to capture a deep reflection on the need to uphold the dignity of the House, which we have jealously protected and defended over the years. Despite my spirited efforts, I have not been able to find an agreed position, codified or otherwise, as to what is our national dress. I, therefore, urge all hon. Members to uphold the dignity of the House and observe Rule 5 of the Speaker’s Rules on dress code, not only in this Chamber, but also in Committees, the Lounges and Dining areas. In the meantime, in line with the reforms being undertaken in the House, especially following the adoption of the new Standing Orders, I would request hon. Members with any suggestions on the mode of dressing in the Chamber to forward them to the Chair, so that the matter may be examined afresh in view of the concerns raised by the hon. Members. Thank you."
