"content": "I am citing Standing Order No.36(2). It says:- âBusiness shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the House, direct.â I want to draw your attention to the words âmay for the convenience.â The Standing Orders have given the Speaker that power to dispose of the Order differently, but only for the convenience of the House. That convenience of the House can only be determined by asking this House if we accept that the way you want us to dispose of business in the Order Paper is to our convenience. To many of us, it is completely for the inconvenience of this House. If the Speaker will make this ruling, I want to just remind him that it will be for the inconvenience and not for the convenience of this House because we feel inconvenienced."
