    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a lot more important than the Leader of Government Business wants to put it. It is a matter of whether Parliament has any authority over its own matters. This arises from a decision of this House that certain measures must be taken by the Executive. I do not understand how the Executive can think that they can bypass Parliament by assigning themselves whatever duties they want to as heavy as they might be--- The respect of this House is an issue. We did, indeed, seek your guidance that in the event that the Executive chooses to ignore the Legislature what is the recourse of Parliament? Do we simply then say the Executive can do whatever it wants? They are about to come here in the next Order to seek money. Are we to say, perhaps, we can go to other functions because that is okay? Clearly, it is a lot more fundamental than the Leader of Government Business wants to. We need to address it properly. If it is a matter of delivering a Statement, could the Prime Minister not give it to the Leader of Government Business to deliver it, if they respect this House? The Prime Minister has two deputies, what is so difficult in one of them being able to deliver that Statement?"
