    "content": "before we proceed to Order No.8, being the Motion for approval of Members of the House Business Committee (HBC), I wish to make the following communication. Hon. Members, you will recall that yesterday I guided the House that the provisions of Standing Order No.175(1) and (2) apply to the process of nomination and approval of Members of the HBC. For clarity, Standing Order No. 175(1) and (2) reads as follows:- Standing Order No. 175(1): “The Selection Committee” - it is important that hon. Members listen to this – “shall, within seven days upon nomination of members to serve in any committee of the House, present the list to the House for approval.” The emphasis is “to serve in any committee”. “(2) Whenever a Motion for approval of a list under paragraph (1) is moved in the House, no objection against the proposed membership of a Member in a select committee shall be permitted and objections, if any, shall be formulated against the proposed membership as a whole.” Hon. Members, you will all agree with me that the plain reading in that rule applies to approval processes whose nominations are made by the Committee on Selection."
