    "content": "What I am saying is that a Clause would refer to a Clause of a Bill already published. There is nothing wrong with the Government regularizing allowances that are already being received but there is something very sneaky and wrong with trying to circumscribe procedure and without notice, bring those matters before the House. This is how the advice in Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg was given. That is fraudulent legal advice that then becomes a scandal. I am urging hon. Members that whatever good proposals are before us today, let the steps be retraced and let them be brought in an orderly manner. Short-cuts are what leads to fraud in the Government. One does not want to go the wrong way because he or she wants a short-cut. It is a sad day that when we are already on the spotlight on other matters, we start sneaking legislation in this manner."
