    "content": "As a House, we will continue to explore new ideas that will possibly improve service delivery. The Order will now have additional information showing the Statements to be requested and those to be responded to. This information will be contained in a notice paper which will be appended to the Order Paper effective next week. The HBC believes that this new development will enable hon. Members to prepare adequately for Statements. At this juncture, I wish also to encourage Chairpersons of Committees that where they have difficulties with various Ministries and Departments in having their Statements effectively processed, my office is open to offer any facilitation towards having their concerns addressed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to urge Committees through the Chair to adhere to the requirements of Standing Order 127 (4) and (5) that once 20 days have expired after the First Reading of a Bill, the Second Reading of that Bill may commence notwithstanding the laying on the Table of the report of the Committee. This will ensure that Bills are not deferred on the Floor as a result of Committee Chairs not being prepared to move them. However, we encourage Committees to lay Bills on the Table within the time stipulated in Standing Orders. Further, I wish to remind hon. Members that the Clerk’s Office prepares trackers for Bills, Motions, Statements and Petitions. This is aimed at enabling hon. Members track the status of each item aforementioned. The trackers are also available on the Parliamentary Website."
