The office can advise but I can quote from the guidelines for Chairs issued in June 2016, as I have taken the time and trouble to read it. It states clearly, on page three of eight, that the "decision of the Chairman regarding the disallowance of amendments is final". I have highlighted it and I rest my case on that decision. I ask members not to elongate or prolong unnecessarily address of the amendments as indicated. We have much work to do and other members have other responsibilities as the morning will proceed.
