Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"In conclusion Hon. Members, I will now address the question of what constitutes an appropriate dress code for the National Assembly. In doing so, I start by reiterating that Rule 8 of the Speaker’s Rules (Revised) 2017 still applies, and for the avoidance of doubt, I quote: “Members, members of the press and guests shall not enter the Chamber, Lounges, Dining Room or Committee Rooms without being properly dressed. For the purposes of these Rules, proper dress means – (a) a coat, collar, tie, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, socks, and shoes or service uniform for men; and, (b) decent formal/business wear for women”"}
