    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Members appear to be eager to deal with the Proceeds of Crime and Anti- Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill. I think they want to make sure they stop money laundering. That is why they want us to move fast. But we make grave mistakes when we consider a Bill with that kind of speed. If you look at the amendment that the Chairlady of the Committee is proposing to Clause 41, which is on the appointed day for coming into effect, that is okay. I connect it to what I was saying before, which were the deletions in Clause 39, yet the Chairlady has not proposed any amendment to Clause 42, which talks about a person who was a member of the former Institute. I am sure when the Chairlady sits down later, she will understand what I am talking about. In Clause 42, you are making reference to a provision you are not amending. You are only amending a portion of Clause 39. You have deleted Clause 39, which is in two parts. We are now making a further amendment with this amendment, which speaks to the deletion we made to Clause 39 (a). But the deletion we made to Clause 39 (b) should also have ensured that we delete Clause 42. That has not been done. We are now making reference to a ‘former Institute’, but we have deleted its decision. I urge Members to not be in a hurry then we make mistakes that will make us look unserious in this House. I can see the Leader of the Majority Party knocking his head. Clause 42 says that any person who was a member of the former Institute shall become a member of the Institute. But we have deleted definition of ‘former Institute. 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."
