    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. This list was prepared with full consultation between all the various heads of political parties. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the Chief Whips of the various parties for a job well-done. As you can see, this list is being supported unlike in the Ninth Parliament when the list was opposed. The other thing I would like to say is that just because we have a grand coalition, it does not mean that there is no Opposition. Not everybody can be appointed to the Cabinet. Those who will be left out of the Cabinet - the Backbenchers - will form the Official Opposition. It is, therefore, not true that this is the end of the Opposition. In fact, this is just the beginning. It would have been good, as somebody has said, if the names of more hon. lady Members could have been included in this list. It would also have been good if we had included one or two new Members of Parliament so that they can start learning the ropes. How will the new Members of Parliament learn if they are not included in this list? I support."
