    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support Dr. Khalwale’s proposal. The reason is that this is one Committee over which there must be agreement in order for the business of the House to proceed. Therefore, those sentiments that hon. Members have expressed are valid. They include the composition of the list, the consideration of small parties and the fact that NARC(K) is a party which is a member of the PNU Coalition. Though it may not necessarily be so at the moment, and I stand to be corrected, I do not think that NARC(K) is a parliamentary party in terms of Standing Order No.158. That being the case, we do not need to be angry with one another. The spirit of consultation is very healthy. Therefore, I want to thank the hon. Members who have expressed those concerns. Let us also take note of the fact that there can only be 21 Members in this Committee. Therefore, it may be absolutely difficult to accommodate all the interest groups, but I think an attempt must be made. If this Motion is defeated, it means that, we will not have business until after six months according to your predecessor’s ruling. Therefore, Dr. Khalwale’s move is very wise. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
