    "content": "Allow me to quote from a book written by a professor of Psychology, Prof. Fulham, on the issue of decision making because I will be raising these things after we have done sector consultations on the issue of the Administrative Justice Bill that we have also published. He writes, and I quote: “Prospect theory explains both why we act when we shouldn’t and why we don’t act when we should. Curiously, the more choices that people have in life, the more likely they are to do nothing; and the more attractive options they have, the worse the delay and paralysis, for freedom of choice can cause serious problems. The longer you defer making a decision, the less likely you are to get over a situation”. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like you to observe that even the majority of hon. Members, who were so agitated by the presentation of Bills, walked out as soon as you made your ruling. They are not even here to listen to me. They are not even here to contribute to this very important part of national policy, gender and equality. With utmost respect to the House, it seems to me that we sometimes take positions for the pleasure of the gallery as opposed to taking positions for the welfare of this country. Therefore, it is my pride and privilege to present this Bill. I am also privileged this afternoon to have my hardworking beautiful sister, hon. (Dr.) Naomi Shaban, to second this Bill. I beg to move."
