    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 72 by deleting sub-clause (4). What informed this is that if you look at Clause 72(4) the agency proposes that the service shall maintain and operate a one line budget. This is a ridiculous proposal, because the Service gets money which is divided into two portions, development money and operations money. If we legislate on this blanket section, then it means that no member will have the audacity or the right to question any financial provisions of the service. I think that will be very wrong and will defeat the oversight role of Parliament. Therefore, we are suggesting that, that aspect should be deleted, so that the Service can brief any entity as required by law on the need to know basis. Sometimes they might have developmental issues which they want to share, and others are operational issues which are classified. Therefore, there is no need to legislate on this."
