    "content": "Hon. Members, of late, I have been concerned that a number of such Reports and accompanying Notices of Motion are being brought to my office for approval just before the commencement of the day’s sitting. Some in less than 10 minutes. The reason why a two hours period is given to a committee or a Member to submit a report for approval by the Speaker before a sitting, is to allow the Speaker reasonable time to apprise himself of the contents of such reports, before approving it for tabling in the House. Hon. Members, this time implies that reports that are intended for tabling on a Tuesday or a Thursday sitting ought to be submitted to my office by 12 noon. Similarly, reports intended to be tabled on a Wednesday morning ought to be submitted to my office either on the previous day or by 7.30 am on that particular Wednesday morning. Reports which come to my office after those timelines will not be approved. Members, this is the reason why some of those ones that you brought at about 1.45 p.m. are still not there. I just cannot approve things which I have not read."
