    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to repeat for the hon. Member to understand; that there are ways in which the Cabinet operates. I have said that this matter was referred to the Infrastructure Committee of the Cabinet. That Committee carried out its own investigations. It set up a taskforce consisting of experts, both technical and legal; to investigate the way this tender was handled and dealt with. It was seeking, for example, the opinion of the Attorney-General. After evaluation of all that information, that taskforce then gave a recommendation to the Committee of the Cabinet. So, that report will be presented to the Cabinet tomorrow. That is the reason I was saying that we need to define how we relate to each other. If the information had been sought from the Office of the Prime Minister, we would have been able to communicate to the House that the matter is still being dealt with by the Cabinet and, therefore, there was no need for a parallel investigation to be carried out by the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the House is very much justified in questioning certain decisions of the Executive, but over this particular issue, the House has acted prematurely because no decision has been taken by the Executive."
