Sen. Orengo correctly summed up the issue; that when there are visitors in the Public Gallery, unless, there is a special interest and the Speaker is informed about it, it is not a requirement that the Speaker must recognize them. But we do it out of courtesy, particularly when they are students because that they come here to learn. You may need to look at yesterday’s HANSARD because the matter was canvassed at great length and concluded, in my opinion, on the point which was made by Sen. Orengo. There is a way that things are done. If I am informed by the Clerk’s Office, I will do what is necessary. But from where you are sitting, you do not even have any details at all about who is in the Gallery."}
