"content": "Because we did not want to make references to some offices that are not very clearly known to the Constitution, that is why in our specific part of the Standing Orders we provided that a Cabinet Secretary should appear and if he is not able to appear for whatever reason, which must be recorded, he or she is represented by an officer not below the level of a Principal Secretary. It was a clever way of trying to avoid making reference to those people you have just mentioned. Those are positions that could disappear overnight. We did not want to have our Standing Orders having references to some of those strange titles. That is why we provided for an officer not below the level of a Principal Secretary and it is for good reason. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
