    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If this ruling has been made pursuant to Standing Order No. 1, Standing Order, No. 1 is about procedural matters that are not provided for. I believe your ruling is so fundamental and has such serious impact that it should be anchored either on the Constitution, some Statute or the Standing Orders. If we go by Standing Order No.1 that we set this as a precedent, I want to plead with you that it creates the possibility that in future, activities before all committees might be stayed in the event that somebody walks to court. We want to be the good arm of Government that is doing diplomacy on behalf of the three arms of Government. Most of the points have been said but it would be very important if we stuck to our regulations and have decisions that are founded on regulations. I am doing so because I did not want to be disrespectful to the Speaker. If you think that is a good decision, the best that you can do today is subject it to a vote. That way, you will see the feeling of the House. From where I am seated, the mood of the House is that we are against the decision."
