    "content": "I do not profess to know everything about Standing Orders but we can consult and agree. I am looking at Standing Order 136. If we could all get there, it will be good. Paragraph 3 says:- ― A member who desires to delete or amend any provision contained in a Bill, or to introduce a new provision in the Bill under paragraph (2) may propose any amendment to add, at the end of a Motion under paragraph (1) the words ― subject to the re-committal of the Bill ( in respect of some specified part or of some proposed new clause or new schedule) to a Committee of the Whole House.‖ and if that Motion is agreed to with such an amendment, the Bill shall stand so re-committed and the House shall either forthwith or upon a day named by the House Business Committee in consultation with the Member in charge of the Bill, dissolve itself into a Committee to consider the matters so re-committed.‖ It is pursuant to this explanation that the Table is of the view that this committal is therefore done in the House rather than in the Committee. Other Members are looking at Section 137 which states that:- ―The report of a Select committee on a Bill shall be laid on the Table of the House by the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Select Committee or by some other Member authorized by the Committee in that behalf.‖ Hon. Members, the reading in the plain understanding of the Table is that this amendment is done in the House rather than in Committee. I have said that I do not profess to understand everything, but my understanding of Section 136(3) seems to suggest that this amendment is done in the House rather than in the Committee."
