    "content": "Hon. Members making your way in, I just paused to allow those who were coming in to come in. Take your seats please. Let me continue. I began by explaining that in the House of Commons in the UK, the general rule is that a Member has to be notified before appointment to or discharge from a committee. Indeed, Standing Order No. 121 (1)states as follows and I quote: “Any member intending to propose that certain members be members of a select committee, or be discharged from a select committee, shall give notice of the name of the member whom he intends so to propose and shall endeavour to ascertain previously whether each such member will give his attendance on the committee, and shall endeavour to give notice to any member whom he proposes to be discharged from the committee.” The key words to be emphasised here are “shall endeavour to give notice to any Member whom he proposes to be discharged from the committees.” Obviously, this implies that for discharges, the rule of natural justice and fair hearing needs to apply in the discharge process.
