    "content": "Hon. Members, as you will remember, the House was subjected to two Order Papers today. The two had the same information except the Motions which were different. My consultations both with the Clerk’s Department and Members of the House Business Committee (HBC) gave the information that both items; the Second Reading of the Finance Bill (2010) and the Motion by the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs were both balloted for. The precedence was supposed to be on which of the two would be moved today. The information we have is that subsequently, through communication between Members of the HBC and the Clerk’s Department, it was decided that after the publishing of the first Order Paper which had indicated the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs Motion as having precedence, another Order Paper be printed, indicating that the Finance Bill was going to take precedence. This morning, in my office, the Assistant Minister for Finance came to me and told me that they will not be in a position to move that item. This is for the very simple reason that the Minister is not around and he would be comfortable with the Minister moving it. Under the circumstances, I have given direction for a Supplementary Order Paper to be circulated and that Order Paper is going to be circulated now. We will base our transaction of business on the second Order Paper being circulated now. Proceed!"
