    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am doing this on behalf of the Leader of Government Business who is tied up. He is supposed to be here, but he is on the way. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, this House orders that the Business appearing in today’s Order Paper under Order Nos.11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22 be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order No.38(1), being a Wednesday Morning, a day allocated for Private Members’ Motions. I will be very brief. The gist of this Procedural Motion is to enable us to debate Motions No.11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22. This will allow us to move on to Motion No.9 which will reduce the period on some Bills from 14 to 12 day and others from 14 to six days. We do not have a lot of time. Therefore, we are trying to utilize the few days that Parliament is supposed to meet. This House has risen to the occasion whenever called upon and it has not let down the country. You will recall that we sat a number of times up to midnight at the beginning of this year. We even had Special Sittings on Fridays, days that Parliament does not meet."
