    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(a) on behalf of the House Business Committee, I rise to give the following statement: The House Business Committee (HBC) met on Wednesday this week to give priority to the business of the House. The HBC has prioritised the following business for consideration next week. On Tuesday the House is scheduled to consider: (1) The appointment of Members to the Committee on Selection; (2) The appointment of Members to the Committee on Appointments; and (3) The appointment of Members to the Procedure and House Rules Committee. After the appointments have been approved by the House, it is envisaged that we will consider the Report of the Committee on Selection on the proposal for appointments of Members to various Committees. The House will also receive - and it is important - and consider the Report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on the proposed amendments to the Standing Orders relating to the membership of various Committees. In this Report, we expect that every Member of the august House will serve in two Committees – one Departmental and one Select. In the same week, we will also continue with the Second Reading of the following Bills: The Public Trustee (Amendment) Bill, 2017 and the Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017, should we not conclude them today. For the purpose of correcting the House records, may I inform the House that I have since withdrawn the Energy Bill (National Assembly Bill No.41 of 2017) and the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.40 of 2017), pursuant to Standing Order No.140. This is to allow for the republication and presentation of those Bills afresh to the House. May I also bring to the attention of the House that in accordance with the calendar of the House and Standing Order No.27 (1), it is expected that the House may either go on long recess next week on Friday or alter the calendar of the House to extend its session of this year, should there be any urgent business from the Executive, though this is a matter to be discussed by the HBC that you chair and we shall give the way forward. I now wish to lay this statement on behalf of the House Business Committee on the Table of the House."
