    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to make an appeal since you have said you will communicate with the Government through the Leader of Government Business. That has been done before and it has never worked. So, I have a suggestion to the Chair; if you can convene the Speaker’s Committee which deals with the Standing Orders or the rules which guide this House and we borrow from the German Parliament where if an hon. Member does not appear in the House, their allowance is deducted. Since these Ministers will come here to make technical appearances just to earn that sitting allowance, we should make sure immediately that committee is convened, we amend that particular area such that if a Minister does not appear to answer a Question, even if he comes to Parliament that day, that will not be considered as a sitting and he will not get that allowance."
