We are discussing a very critical procedure. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, putting (i), (ii) and (iii) under Order No.9 was merely a convenience. Otherwise, these were three independent Bills. There have been some benefits for combining them in the past. Now it looks like that can also be a handicap. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we already have a problem in this House. I cannot quite recall when the Public Fundraising Bill was initiated. However, like part (ii) we have been dilly-dallying with it in one way or the other for a year. When there is a window where we can deal with it and only pend the voting aspect of it, I would, if you permit me, move that the House resolves that in future - irrespective of putting Bills together - they should be considered as three different Orders so that the putting together is merely a convenience. Otherwise, we shall lose a day if you do not agree with us for no reason other than just a procedure which is not explicit and it is you to decide. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."}
