26. Notices of motion
(1) A notice of motion signed by the Member giving the notice shall be
handed to the Clerk, or addressed to his Office, within the time prescribed for
the purpose.
(2) The Chairperson may disallow a notice which, in his opinion—
(a) contains unbecoming expressions;
(b) infringes the rules of debate; or
(c) is otherwise irregular.
(3) Any notice may be amended by the Chairperson, with the consent of
the Member who gave the notice, and may thereupon appear on the Order Paper.
(4) All motions of which notice has been received by the Clerk not less than
5 days before a sitting shall, unless the Chairperson rules the motion out of order, be circulated to all Members.
(5) If a Member desires to vary the terms of a motion standing in his name,
he may do so by giving to the Clerk an amended notice of motion, provided such
amendment does not, in the opinion of the Chairperson, materially alter any principle embodied in the original motion or the scope thereof.
(6) Motions whose contents are cognate may be debated together.
