On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise on a point of order. Standing Order No. 49 says that no Motion may be moved which is the same in substance as any question which has been resolved, either in the affirmative or in the negative, during the preceding six months in the same Session.

Thank you. I have heard my colleague and friend Dr. Nyikal. You have a point, but, unfortunately, as the Chairman has pointed out, I think my colleague should withdraw this clause.
