"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Once more I want to appeal to the Chair. It appears there is a tendency by hon. Members that once a Motion is brought, they want to bring up certain issues. The procedure before is that you raise the matter directly with the Speaker but you do not ambush the Chair. I am concerned with the issue of procedure because it appears that this is now a practice. When a Motion is put in the Order Paper, rather than objecting in writing to the Speaker, we ambush the Chair and then you are forced to defer the Motion. I do not like this Motion but I am interested in the issue of procedure. It is wrong to ambush the Chair. This was done a while ago and it is being done again. I wish to invite the Chair to rule that, in future, if you have an objection on the constitutionality of a Motion, you write to the Speaker in advance so that we do not waste the time of this House. That will enable the Speaker to have time to look at those arguments. On the case which has been put forward, as genuine as it might"
