    "content": "Hon. Members, I have in my considered opinion given adequate guidance to the House and more so to the hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. I have given directions that the way to proceed is to move an amendment to the Motion. Let us proceed from there! The effect of this is that, if per chance, hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, you move that amendment and there has not been sufficient consensus or there has not been adequate consultation, then there is a possibility that when that matter is put to the vote, it could go one way or the other. If, for instance, it is defeated - the Chair has no way of knowing this until the vote is taken - then it will mean that for the next six months this Motion cannot be revisited. In effect, therefore, the House would not be able to meet and transact any business for a period of six months, which is half a year. That will be the effect! It is important that you are aware of this, hon. Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs."
