    "content": " Hon. Members, the bit that I am a bit uncomfortable with is the fact that Members of particular Committees can still request for Statements from their own Committees. As a House, this is something we need to tidy up because if you are a Member of a Committee, you do not need to bring the matter here. You are supposed to transact it at the Committee-level. Of course, that has been done but the hon. Member says that it has not been properly done. I do not know how we intend to proceed on that one because, as a Member of the Committee, saying that the Committee has not done a good job raises concerns. Anyway, I know from the Procedure and House Rules Committee that there is some model that is being crafted, where Cabinet Secretaries will be coming to the House from time to time, not necessarily to this particular Chamber but to other Chambers in the model, for instance, of the Westminster in Britain. Hon. Members will be able to raise all such issues and transact them at that particular point in time. However, that is something which needs a lot of consultations; so that hon. Members do not have to feel that their colleagues should respond to Statement requests as if they were the Cabinet Secretaries themselves. As the matter has been raised properly, hon. Members must be invited, other than this particular one, of course, in respect of which the hon. Member is always invited because he is a Member of the Committee. What is your point of order, hon. Langat? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
