    "content": "Hon. Members who have not yet made their way in, you are late so you should not disrupt proceedings. I also wish to remind the Committees that the House already concluded the Second Readings of the following four Bills: 1. The Public Trustee (Amendment) Bill 2017; 2. The Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017; 3. The Physical Planning Bill 2017; and 4. The Building Surveyors Bill of 2017. The Chairpersons of the relevant Committees should, therefore, urgently table their reports or report progress in line with the provisions of Standing Order No.127 (4) and (5) to enable the House to proceed with the Bills at the Committee of the whole House stage. The House is accordingly informed. For the information of Members, as you will recall, these four Bills went through Second Reading before the Committees had been formed. As you know, you started with a few things which you were doing outside the House so the Committees had not presented their reports. It is not a strange procedure. In some jurisdictions, this is permissible and, therefore, for convenience of the House, during the Committee of the whole House, the Chairpersons will have more time than usual to explain what is contained in their reports and propose amendments. Members can then take that opportunity to ask the Chairperson many questions because some of the proposals may be informed by what the Chairperson and the Committee will have received from the stakeholders appearing before them."
