"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yet again, a difficult challenge faces you. I want to say the following four things. One, that you find that my very good friend, the Member who has raised this point of order, is out of order for the following reasons. First, if you rule that this Motion does not proceed, you will, in fact, be usurping the function of the House Business Committee that has committed this Motion to the Floor after a very long debate. Secondly, you are also the one with authority to approve the constitutionality or otherwise of a Motion before it finds its place on the Floor and that you already have done. I have no doubt, knowing you, Sir, that you have considered even much more than what has been said on the Floor. The third reason is that the House cannot, as we say, on matters of equity, take advantage of its own neglect. If you look at Article 221(2)(b), it says that:- â(2) The Estimates referred to in Clause (1) shall- (b) be in the form, and according to the procedure prescribed by an Act of Parliamentâ."
