    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, last week when you were away, this matter of the Private Members’ Bills was also on the Floor after I read the Communication from the House Business Committee. It is a great concern that we need to tell Members to forget about these Motions of urging and bring substantive Bills that will amend the existing laws; that Wednesday morning becomes a serious morning. The Speaker gave a ruling and through you, we will pick up and give more direction maybe on Tuesday. On the issue of the Supplementary Order Paper, it is within the Standing Orders that Parliament has powers to introduce it. Again, I urge the Committee Chairs also to take their work very seriously. When a Bill is read for the First Time, it is taken to the Committee for 21 days. The Committee must bring a report before that Bill is done for the Second Reading. So, most of the issues that we have is that Chairs are not ready. They have not presented their report for the Members to use them to debate, even Government Bills. So, I also urge that Parliament, through you, must write to the Chairs of Committees that they must produce reports in time; that when they table today, then that Bill can be read the Second Time. 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."
