    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion on the consideration of the Report by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Just to make some quick points, it must be remembered that Articles 94 and 95 of the Constitution have always remained very clear. Nothing will have the force of law in this country unless it is passed by Parliament. Sometimes people forget that. They think they can hide under subsidiary legislation or regulations and pass anything that will have the effect of law. They must remember that will not happen. I would like to commend the Committee for this kind of move. However good intention one has, it is not sufficient to consult some people outside or even those in the Executive, Judiciary or any other arm of the Government and assume that you can overlook Parliament. I am even shocked to hear that such regulations could be proposed without engaging the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. That is outrageous. It is something that must be discouraged at all levels. Regulations made under any particular sector must involve the relevant committee before they are presented for adoption."
