"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I have been waiting for the Committee to complete its work for the last three months. In fact, the Committee is one-and-a-half months late. Even if it is about extension, it is unfortunate that they have not delivered to the required standards. I have no problem with adjourning the debate up to Tuesday, so that Members can read the report and make informed debate. However, let us remind ourselves that we have proceeded in the past and waited for the Committee to come with amendments. This should not be the practice; it should not be mandatory for somebody’s Bill to be left in abeyance. Assuming that it was a Private Member’s Bill and a Committee sits with it for this period of time and the Member is just waiting--- Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since it is a Government Bill, I have no problem if we can have another one week for the Committee to complete its report. If we can adjourn it to Tuesday, 6th August, 2018, Members will be ready to debate it without further reference to the Committee."
