    "content": "In the interest of moving forward, Eng. Gumbo and those who have made comments on this matter are very right that this is a House of rules and we would want, as much as possible to all stick to the rules. I have been reliably informed that at the time of laying the report, indeed, it was laid with the original copy of the minutes. If you look at the Standing Order No.190, it simply says:- “The minutes of the proceedings of a select committee shall be laid on the Table of the House with the report of the committee and may, subject to Standing Order 247 (Custody of Journals and Records), be published”. It was laid and I am ordering the clerks to make that original copy available. Again, like hon. Ababu said, because of the interest of getting this matter to the Table, I am sure you have seen how long it has taken us this afternoon, it was the decision whether we are we going to do the minutes or the actual report. So, I believe that as we proceed, with your indulgence Members, this is a decision that was made, but I would like to rule that we have not contravened the Standing Orders because at the point of laying the report, they were laid, but have not been circulated. That is what we are saying because they took precedence of first of all, working on the actual report. With your indulgence, I want to plead that you allow us to continue with the business with that information and that you will get copies of the minutes as soon as they are able to get them to us. Is that in order?"
