    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to comment on the Sugar Act. I am amazed that amendments are being brought to the Sugar Act by an Attorney-General who answered my Question in this very House when I raised the issue that judgments of the Sugar Tribunal cannot be enforced because there is no provision allowing them to be executed as judgments of a court of law. It is good that he has brought whatever amendment he has brought; but how come he forgot to include that one of the tribunal? I am asking him now to remember and to include it because sugar-cane farmers have a lot of judgments against the sugar companies, either for arrears of allowances that were deducted and not paid or for monies not paid. All these judgments have come to nothing because they have been unable to compel the sugar companies to pay. May I call on the Minister, therefore, to bring this amendment, failing which we shall bring it ourselves to ensure that in this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, we make the judgments of the Sugar Tribunal to be of value to the sugar-cane farmers and to be executed in similar manner to court judgments."
