    "content": " That may be so. I hear you, but listen to two issues. First, this phrase, ―Committee of the whole House‖ is not a legal phrase, so to speak. There is no legislation that has defined it. It is in the Standing Order No.1. Secondly, when something has been committed to the National Assembly, the Standing Orders themselves will show you that it will stand committed to the relevant Committee. So, it is the privilege of the Speaker to decide to which Committee that report will go, whether it is a joint Committee or the Committee of the whole House. It, therefore, becomes a Communication from the Chair as to where that report stands committed. 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."
