"content": "Order, hon. Members! Indeed, it is important for us to live within the confines of the rules of the House. Standing Order No. 78 stipulates that proceedings of Select Committees are not to be referred to. It states:- âNo Member shall refer to substance of the proceedings of a Select Committee before the Committee has made its report to the House.â You cannot refer to the substance of the Committee report itself, which you are compiling as the authority in contributing. That is to the extent which an hon. Member has to guide himself in contributing or in seeking clarifications or Ministerial Statements. It is important to know that, whether there is a direction on a Committee or whether the Committee is undertaking a report or not, that in itself does not limit the role of scrutiny of an hon. Member in the House. But an hon. Member of a Committee cannot use the authority of a report that is being compiled in the Committee in a proceeding like this."
