"content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, as a way forward, I want to move an adjournment of debate on this matter on the basis of Standing Orders No.99(1). I beg to move:- THAT, the Committee of the Whole House do now adjourn and the Chairperson do report progress. Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is not unheard of that where there is controversy in Committee of the Whole stage, debate can be adjourned and the Chairperson of the Committee of the Whole reports progress. I think that the Speaker was right because this matter came as Order No.8 which could not be dealt with by the House while it was sitting as a full House. It could only be considered in the Committee of the Whole stage. It is also not right that if in the Committee, a direction given by the House is not in conformity with the law that you just go on, because a direction had been given. You can report back to the House that, when we commenced debate these issues arose to which we want to report progress. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to urge you, most respectively, to follow the Speaker of the National Assembly. Recently, there was a Bill before them on Powers and Privileges. At the Committee Stage, he found that this was going to be a national disaster. The The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
