    "content": "our natural assets. The restriction envisaged aims at having scrap metals only dealt with by the Numerical Machine Complex Limited, and the National Shipping Council. The Committee maintained that these two institutions should be the only ones to purchase scrap metal from public entities. This is a way of protecting natural assets. The Committee felt that if this sector is left unprotected, it can give us many problems. There are some amendments already in the Bill that support the protection of these natural assets. For example, under Clause 24, there is a requirement for provision of information regarding stolen or lost property and licensing restrictions on who should deal with scrap metal. The provisions in these amendments will go a long way in protecting national assets and infrastructure in the electricity, water, sewerage and telecommunication sectors. This country has spent a lot of money to develop the infrastructure in these sectors. If we do not put restrictions in place, we will be allowing our infrastructure to be destroyed. My Committee will be proposing amendments during the Committee of the whole House."
