It says:- “Business shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the House, direct”. I may direct for the convenience of the House. As I said earlier on, Tuesdays afternoon are set aside for Government business. So, Government business takes priority over any other business. Obviously, this Standing Order does not give room to the House to determine which business will come first. The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and Leader of Government business says he would be guided by the feelings of the House. Unfortunately, this Standing Order does not give room to the House to decide. So, really, the person who must decide is the Government. The Government should tell us whether or not it wants Order No.12 to stay as No.12 or to move it to No.9. As soon as I have clear direction, then I will be able to accommodate the convenience of the House because this matter cannot go to a vote as I have read out this Standing Order. So, Leader of Government business it is important that you are categorical."
