    "content": "A Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill is not, and was never meant to be, an omnibus for substantive statutory amendments. It is, therefore, quite in order that questions have been raised whether the present Bill is compliant in this respect. This is a rule of practice of such notoriety that it comes close to assuming a legal status. I ask the hon. Attorney-General that he considers these concerns very carefully now and in the future. Amendments which are substantive in nature and which raise policy questions do not generally belong to this kind of Bill and should be brought as separate stand alone Bills. However, while some amendments may be unsuitable for inclusion in such a Bill and while the Attorney-General may be encouraged to bring such amendments in separate and stand alone Bills, I am unable to find nor am I prepared to go so far as to say that their consolidation and inclusion in a single Bill is unconstitutional. This therefore, deals with the concerns of Eng. Rege and any other Member with similar concerns."
