    "content": " Mr. Chairman, Sir, I fully support the position taken by Mr. Imanyara. Under Standing Order Nos.1 and No.2, where it says that the decisions made in paragraph one shall be based on the usages, forms, precedents, customs, procedures and so on, my understanding here is that the rulings that were made by the previous Speakers are actually binding on the current Speaker, unless and until other rulings are made substantively by that Speaker. I am saying this because we have had occasions where the Chair has ignored the rulings which were made previously by other Speaker, even when his attention has been drawn to those rulings. Now that I have the Floor, I want to suggest another procedure. I can see that we are trying to go Standing Order by Standing Order, but this document is divided into parts. There are 25 parts all together. I think we will make better use of time if we go part by part, so that if an hon. Member has issues to raise on any of the Standing Orders under that part then he or she can do that. Otherwise, we will be here until tomorrow. December 9, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3963"
