    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I would like to draw the attention of the House to page 11, Clause 9. This is an extremely unusual situation. I would like to urge the House to take account of the circumstances surrounding this Bill. You will find that in Clause 9, we have put in what we are calling an interpretation clause. Unusually for an Act of Parliament, we have gone on to re-produce the actual Accord between the principals. So, I would like to beg and plead with the learned professor, please, accept the circumstances surrounding the drafting of this particular legislation and support the Attorney- General in what he has said. We could not, on our own, as a drafting team comprising of senior lawyers, attempt to amend that which had been signed by the President. I support the wording of the Attorney-General and wish to persuade my good professor to accept them."
