    "content": " The colleagues in that Committee. In fact, the initial idea was that because Hon. Didmus is most concerned about Parliamentary Question delays, he should chair the sub-committee. The decision to make me chair was only made because of the Bills. The other things we were saying were matters which merely require responses. The meeting at Hilton Garden Inn was not a meeting of the sub-committee. I remember I never said so. I said we met at Hilton Gardens Inn and the efficacy of the sub- committee dealing with Bills and others in which I was designated to be the Chair and Hon. Didmus was seen during that meeting. If we need minutes of the informal meeting we had, we will give. However, the clerk is wrong to say there was no meeting. Today, the members of the Committee - and the Chair is here and everybody who was there - will confirm to you that we met to have adoption on various Bills. At the end of it, the Committee resolved with my sub- committee we go and review them. What we did not understand is that those meetings ought to be notified. This is because we do not take it that they should be dealt with like formal committee meetings. There are assistances by people in a sub-committee to the committee. Even now we are going into a sub-committee. The members of that Committee can confirm to you. If it is that there is no record because of HANSARD and others, it is because of informal arrangement under which the sub-committees sit. If it becomes necessary that in the functions of Parliamentary Committees, you also have sub-committees and they work properly, those directions will refine in the Standing Order. You will give directions and you can do them."
