"content": "1. That, the parliamentary party has given the affected member notice of his or her intended discharge. The notice referred to here has the meaning ascribed to it by the USA Supreme Court Ruling quoted in this communication. 2. That, the parliamentary party has afforded the affected member a prior right to be heard on the issue. In this regard, it is not for the Speaker to dictate who will constitute neither the panel nor its procedure but it suffices to say that some form of a hearing must have taken place. Hon. Members, for avoidance of doubt, this communication is not intended to amend the current Standing Order No.176 but to supplement the matters not provided for, which is requiring parties to comply with the constitutional standards of notification and fair hearing. In this regard, the decision of a party to discharge a member from a committee, having accorded him or her formal hearing, is final and ought not to be challenged or subjected to a vote in the House."
