Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to seek the indulgence of the Chair in the matter that is the tradition of this House. Is there an amendment to the Order Paper?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to seek the opinion of the Chair on the manner in which this amendment has been moved. I want to know whether it is properly before the House, so that we can proceed with it.

Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the hon. Member stood to move the amendment, he was actually asking the rest of us to delete and to insert. He did not read out the Motion as he intends it to be after it is amended. Secondly, whether or not the amendment is properly before us also in the way the Motion will appear after we deal with that particular amendment. Is it going to go along with the Motion or is it going to completely remove the Motion from the Order Paper?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Could the hon. Member be assisted to frame the amendment, so that he can put it before the House and we can deal with it? He needs to be assisted!

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The amendment should be stated as a Motion, "that this Motion is amended by deleting and inserting words". I thought that the Clerk-at-the-Table should have helped the hon. Member to draft a proper amendment, so that it can be seconded. Basically, the spirit of it is that he is deleting the part where non-Members of Parliament are to be included in the PSC, and that is basically the spirit of the Motion. That negates the Motion completely.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Chair has stunned me with its ruling that in the middle of a debate we suspend a Motion.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. That should be done only if it is correct to do so. I think if you can consult, you can make sure that it is correct to do so.
