    "content": " Mr. Chairman, Sir, I also oppose the proposed amendment. When you come to the definition particularly of the \"Leader of Government Business\", it is important in the sense that when you read the Standing Orders, then you find that the Leader of Government Business has a role. So, you can connect that definition with some function within the Standing Orders. Now, the animal that is being introduced as such, I do not find that animal in the body of the Standing Orders. It may be my misunderstanding, but I think it is a dangerous precedence. Those who were in this Parliament in 1992, when we wanted to find out who the de facto leader of one party or the other is, it depended who sat on that Chair first. The Speaker found it really difficult. So, then the tradition is that you sit down and decide, as a party, who your leader is. This is then communicated to the Speaker."
