    "content": "Order, hon. Members, before we start the next Order, I have some information which I want to relay. The debate on the Financial Statement which was concluded yesterday during the morning sitting was debate on policy issues contained in the Financial Statement. The Motion before the House was: \"THAT, Mr. Speaker Do Now Leave the Chair\". The Question of the Motion \"THAT, Mr. Speaker Do Now Leave the Chair\" was put and agreed to by the House. This literally means that the Speaker left the Chair and we are, therefore, in the Committee of Ways and Means. The Chairman of the Committee will, therefore, be in the Chair and the Mace will be lowered. The Business before the Committee of Ways of Means is taxation proposals as contained in the Financial Statement. This Business is supposed to take three Allotted Days. This is provided for under Standing Order No.138. At the end of today's sitting, the Committee will report progress to the House and seek leave to sit again. The purpose of the Motion before the Committee is to legitimise the collection of the proposed taxing and the provision of collection of taxes. The taxes listed in the Motion are also contained in the Finance Bill which has been read a First Reading this June 26, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1451 afternoon. When the Bill will be debated, Members will be free to introduce any amendments as they may find fit. After the Committee of Ways and Means, 20 days will be allotted for the Committee of Supply in order to consider Estimates for individual Ministry Votes. The consideration of individual Votes will go on until 30th October, 2008. This will be followed by the Appropriation Bill. This report is for the information of the Members of Parliament because most of them are freshmen in the House. Thank you. Proceed! Next Order!"
