    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do empathize with the sentiments expressed by my colleagues. I do appreciate their desire to have this thing this afternoon. However, between now and the afternoon, there is still very little time. But nonetheless, having said that, I was going to plead to hon. Members that they allow the Minsiter to proceed with the amendments on the following proviso. The proviso is very important that we move very systematically from clause to clause where the Minister explains what he is introducing as an amendment from the original Bill by quoting to the House that original Bill so that the House can know. I know the hon. Members fear that they need to check the Bill with the amendments proposed. However, that mischief can be cured by the speed with which we meet and the carefulness with which hon. Members look at the amendments vis-a-vis the Bill. I think the Minister can do that ably. So, rather than defer the Bill to the afternoon, let us, at least, begin to make progress by providing the Minister the opportunity to explain the amendments and we, at least, achieve something by 12.30 p.m. and then during lunch time, hon. Members can look in more details what is left. I appeal to hon. Members to accept that."
