    "content": " I am persuaded to agree with you. The report should be comprehensive to address the issues that the petitioner has requested. The Committee should also take into account any issues that are sub judice and state as much. You will also remember what our Standing Orders say on the issue of sub judice, we have to petition on the Floor of the House and convince the House that these issues are already active before the courts and that decision still has to be taken by the Speaker, whether to sustain or not. In terms of the deliberations of the Committee, nothing should restrict them from proceeding, so that the petitioner can get full information on the issues raised. He may also wish to remember that we do not debate petitions, it is a report to the petitioner through the House and you will only be allowed commentaries of not more than five minutes, so, it is not a full debate in the normal way. The issue Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is raising is whether in commenting within those five minutes the rules of sub judice apply. We will deal with it at that moment when the Committee has given us the findings of the issues that are sub judice."
