    "content": "My submission is just on two points: one is on procedure. If we proceed in accordance with the current Standing Orders, because we are a House of rules, then without a shadow of doubt, we should look at Standing Order No.205. These accounts should be committed to the PAC and there should be no doubt on which committees of this House should have responsibility over this. Standing Order No.205(2) reads, and for avoidance of doubt allow me to put it on record:- “(2) The Public Accounts Commitee shall be responsible for the examination of the accounts showing the appropriations of the sum voted by the House to meet the public expenditure and of such other accounts laid before the House as the Committee may think fit.” So, any accounts that are laid before this House either of a general or specific nature such as this touching on appropriations voted in favour of political parties should be committed to the PAC. The Leader of the Majority Party should not have a headache about which committee should deal with this. This is a matter that should immediately be committed to the PAC to handle it."
