Upon that motion debates may take place in which not more than four separate matters for which the Cabinet is responsible may be raised by Members who have obtained the right to raise those matters on the motion for the adjournment that day.

Any Member may speak on each matter so raised and such speeches, if not previously concluded, shall cease upon the expiration of ten minutes. Ministers responsible shall reply at the conclusion of speeches in relation of all matters.

The ruling of the Speaker as to the time taken shall be final.

The right to raise matters on the motion for the adjournment, shall be allotted to

Members for each sitting day, if necessary by ballot under the direction of the

Speaker or in his absence the Deputy Speaker and/ or the Clerk.

Any member wishing to obtain the right to raise a matter on the motion for the adjournment shall give not less than three (3) days notice thereof specifying the matter which he proposes to raise. No member shall specify more than one matter for each sitting day.

Should the Member fail to obtain such right for the sitting day named in his notice, he shall, at his request and subject to the provisions relating to a ballot be allotted that right on a succeeding sitting day, if any, within the next ten days.

A Member who has obtained such right shall not be eligible to ballot for the following three months unless by reason of the prior adjournment of the

Assembly or otherwise, he has been deprived of the opportunity of exercising such right.

The names of Members not successful in a ballot shall, at their request, be included in any ballot held for succeeding sitting days, if any, within the next ten days.

A Member may not have more than one entry in any one ballot.
