    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose the deletion. I explained when I was moving this Bill that the new Clause is necessary particularly now when we have the Coalition Government. The problem has come to the fore with the splitting of some Ministries. Under the various provisions under the Act, some of those departments in those Ministries are supposed to be administered by officers in other Ministries. I believe I gave the example of the Ministry of Medical Services and the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation where the Director of Medical Services still oversees the Public Health Act, which has a Director of Public Health now. This is not the only provision. We also have a similar problem under the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Industrialization. Consequently, we need this provision so that we do not have to amend over 100 legislations whenever there is a change in the organization of the Government, and in particular, affecting the departments in Ministries which are changed from one Ministry to another."
