"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, when we, initially, looked at Clause 50, we thought that there could be mischief, particularly bearing in mind the way the former Special Branch used to behave. During that time, you would be arrested on Friday and taken to court on Saturday. However, we have discussed this matter with quite a number of Members of the Committee. We discovered that, under this clause, there is no power of arrest. The power that the agency is being given is basically on search, seizure and interception. Therefore, since it is necessary for the agency to have emergency powers, we agreed that this clause should remain the way it is."
