    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended- (a) in subclause 1 by inserting the word \"statutory\" after the article \"a\". (b) by deleting paragraph (c). (c) by deleting subclause (2). (d) by inserting the following new subclause 4- \"(4)(a) A person shall be a prima facie refugee for purposes of this Act if such person owing to external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or events seriously disturbing public order in any part or whole of his country of origin or nationality is compelled to leave his place of habitual residence in order to seek refuge n another place outside his country of origin or nationality; or (b) If the Minister considers that any class of persons are prima facie refugees as defined in paragraph (a), the Minister may declare such class of persons to be primafacie refugees and may at any time amend or revoke such declaration. (c) If the Minister under paragraph (b) expressly excludes or exempts any person from a declaration that a class of persons to which that person is a member are refugees, such exclusion or exemption shall not prelude the person concerned from applying under paragraph (a) for recognition of their status as a refugee.\" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, by this amendment, I seek to introduce two categories of refugees. Statutory refugees will be those people who come and apply on individual capacity, and who the Government can be able to assess in terms of their plaints. The second group will be prima facie refugees. This relates to large groups of people that cross the border, fleeing from persecution but who cannot be interviewed as individuals. This proposal is intended to, again, help the Government to administer the status of determination of the two categories of refugees and to facilitate the same. Thank you."
