I want to quote our Standing Orders which we passed in this House just before the end of the Tenth Parliament. Standing Order No.173 (2) states as follows:- “173(2) The Committee on Selection shall give consideration to the need for gender balance and shall, so far as may be practicable, ensure that no more than two-thirds of the members of a committee of the Assembly, including a committee established through a resolution of the House, shall be of the same gender.”"}
