"content": "Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, but specifically on one aspect. This relates to what your own staff do with documents that are supplied by the Government. The principle is one of accountability of the Government to this House; when a document that is marked “draft” is brought to the House and circulated for the benefit of the Members, what should your staff do? What value should be given to a document that is clearly marked, “draft”? Should we act on it? Should the office of the Clerk of the National Assembly accept such documents? When you are making your ruling on this issue, it is important--- You have had to deal with documents that are signed by personal assistants of Members of Parliament, by junior officers in Ministries and you have made a ruling. More importantly, time has now come for you to give consideration to the issue of circulation of drafts that are meaningless, because they can be changed any time when the final document is produced."
