    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 18 be amended— (a) by deleting subclause (1) and substituting therefor the following new subclause— “(1) The Cabinet Secretary may, in consultation with the Board, by order in the Gazette, impose a levy on domestic sugar and a ten per centum of CIF value on imported sugar to be known as the Sugar Development Levy.” (b) by inserting the following new subclauses immediately after subclause (6)— “(7) The Sugar Development Levy collected under subsection (2) shall be apportioned as follows— (a) fifteen per centum shall be applied by the Board for income or price stabilisation for sugar growers; (b) twenty per centum shall be applied by the Board in the furtherance or exercise of any function or power of the Board; (c) twenty per centum shall be remitted directly to the Institute; (d) forty-five per centum shall be applied for infrastructure development in the sugar subsector on a pro rata basis. “(8) the funds provided for under subsection (7)(a) shall be used to provide for sustainable, affordable credit and advances to farmers for all or any of the following purposes—c (a) farm improvement; (b) farm inputs; (c) farming operations; and (d) price stabilisation. The justification for sub-clause 1 gives the Cabinet Secretary powers to impose the levy on domestic sugar and the 10 per centum of CIF value on imported sugar to be known as the Sugar Development Levy. The amendment to subsection 7 is to appropriate the Sugar Development Levy to provide for the amendment to cap the percentage of various components. The new sub-clause 8 is to provide for components upon which funds under sub-clause 7(a) may be utilised."
