You are in order, according to Standing Order No.51 (3) which states:- “Despite paragraph (2), the Speaker may, on the request of a Senator, defer the putting of the question to the following day in which case the Speaker shall thereupon nominate a time at which the question shall be put.” The Speaker was not also leading debate.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this person just decides to buy them lunch every day, what kind of decisions do you think we are going to get from these kind of county governments? Do you think anything is going to be interrogated? So, sometimes in attempting to save, we might actually lose more. We might think that, as a Government, we are saving by not giving these people just a small salary increment, but by extension, what we might lose as a Government by paying them peanuts runs into hundreds of billions. Because if you do not remunerate somebody well, you ...
