There is 45 minutes for the Mover and a maximum of 20 minutes for replying. So, that is already in the Standing Orders. When we are making any change; when we are deviating from the Standing Orders like she has proposed, then we have to give it and that is why she is very specific that it is only with respect to Items Nos.11 and 12. But what is in our Standing Orders is what is the norm but when we deviate then that is when we are giving these specifics. It is your word against somebody else’s in terms of how long. You might find it inadequate for what you have to say and for another hon. Member it is more than adequate. For others, some of them may not even understand or have not taken the time on it. So as much as you are, I do not know whether it is casting aspersions to say that we are not taking legislative work seriously; it 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."
