    "content": "Hon. Members, before we go to the next Order, as you may have noticed in the Standing Orders, the Clerk is required to appoint a date and place within seven days for the first meetings of those committees except, of course, for House Business Committee (HBC), Committee on Selection, Committee on Appointments and, indeed, even those Members who serve in the House Rules and Procedure as well as the Pensions Committee. Therefore, the Clerk is seized of this resolution which proposes that he will be issuing instructions to the Director of Committees, for the convenience of the House and those committees, and since we know that the House is obviously proceeding on recess tonight, that those committees will have to do their meetings because the rules are within seven days. They have to have their meetings between Tuesday next week, 19th Wednesday and Thursday to transact the business specified in the Standing Order regarding election of the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons. It is important and necessary because later in the day, we will be giving directions as to when the committees, after those elections, meet because we normally also allow our staff to take Christmas holidays. So, it is important that that aspect of the formation of committees is completed latest Thursday next week. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
