    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take cognizant of the fact that my distinguished younger brother is running away from me today. I am standing on Standing Order No.100 in relation to your ruling that we end this debate at 12.30 p.m. This Standing Order gives me and my counterpart an opportunity to address the House on a Bill for not more than 60 minutes. I want to bring to your attention that with the material that I have, I intend to address the House on this matter for about 60 minutes. I know that there are many Members who want to debate and there are equally many Members who are itching to vote. It is important and imperative that those who are itching to vote can wait and we debate this matter fully for the country to understand and appreciate what we are trying to visit upon the country. I intend to speak for one hour. Your direction that we end at 12.30 p.m. means that if I take the Floor at 11.30 p.m., nobody else will have an opportunity to speak and that is not fair to the House either. We need a variation to that."
