    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the debate on the Private Members' Motions shall be limited in the following manner:- A maximum of two hours with not more than twenty minutes for the Mover; Twenty minutes for the Government Official responder and ten minutes for each other Member speaking, and that ten minutes before the time expires the Mover be called upon to reply. Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, this has been standard practice in this House. Since at the beginning of a new Session of every Parliament we have literally to renew all the Motions - and this is one very important matter that governs parties on every Wednesday morning - I said, earlier on, Members will have business being placed before the House in the form of Private Members' Motions. Therefore, it is important that we govern our own conduct right from the outset. I know that when it comes, for instance, to the Mover being called upon to reply ten minutes before the end of time, you would hear certain Movers donating three or five minutes to some of their colleagues who may have urgent contributions to make. This is normal practice so that we can facilitate the conduct of business during our Wednesday morning sittings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, I beg to move and, perhaps, ask my good friend, Mr. Musalia, unless he has any objection, to second this Motion. I noticed that he only nodded and then sat down."
