    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion. I think the main argument for those who are opposing this Motion largely centres around an important report that should be tabled in this House, and an important answer that is being awaited from the Prime Minister. In my view, this House is very important and, at one time or another, there will be one important report to be tabled at every time. I think the wisdom or traditions of this House that puts various segments of the year for different activities to be undertaken is what we should follow. If we do not follow those segments as had been planned and as has been part of the traditions of this House, then important work will not be done. I think arguments have been made as to why we should adjourn the House. First, Committees have not been getting enough time to meet. There is the work in the constituencies. The brewing conflicts particularly in the northern region and so on. All those arguments clearly fall within the work that is supposed to be done. They clearly fall within the segments of the year when the House takes a recess. We are not just going to break the traditions of the House because there is a report. Otherwise, we shall never go for a recess. The House will never go for recess because, at every one time, there will be an important national issue that is going on. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
