One of the reasons why some Chairpersons are not here is because of the way we book the seats. So, it is good to notify Members. That is because we got The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

a Short Message Service (SMS) yesterday saying that now, the seat allocation is on a “first come first get basis”. Maybe, it is good that you do a communication so that the Chairpersons can know that you do not have to book.
