    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support this, but I think it is not sufficient. Sub-Clause (2) states that: ‘‘Despite sub-clause (1), the board shall ensure that sugar shall be imported in the country only when there is a deficit.” Does it mean that the board then will be regulating when the sugar comes in and who brings it? In my view, it sounds like the sugar can come in and it does not tie that any sugar that comes subject to (a) must pass through the board; that the board must give some authorisation. It would have been clearer to say that no sugar will be imported without the authority of the board. I propose that before (a), we introduce an amendment to say that no sugar will be imported without authorisation from the board. We want to tie it so that any sugar that comes subject to (1) because of the international agreement, only the board can make it come in. This has been our biggest problem. I think we should move an amendment before (a) that no sugar shall be imported without the authority of the board and then you bring the rest in."
