Standing Order No.204 provides for the Committee on Appointments, whose report we are debating here today and I want a direction from the Chair if, indeed, this report is properly before the House. I say so because under Standing Order No.204, Hon. Speaker, the Deputy Speaker and other Members are members of the Committee on Appointments. I have been in this House for quite a while and what, in my view, this amounts to is that we are actually debating a report prepared by the Speaker."}
