    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 160 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub- clauses (1), (2) and (3) and substituting therefor the following new sub- clauses- 160. (1) In the case of any proceedings the Courts Martial established under Article 169 of the Constitution shall consist of: (a) a Judge Advocate appointed under section 165 who shall be the presiding officer; and (b) at least five other members appointed by the Defence Court Martial Administrator if an officer is being tried; and (c) not less than three other members in any other case. (2) The members of the Court Martial shall be officers so qualified and not so ineligible in accordance with section 164. (3) At least one of the members provided for in subsection (1) shall be: (a) of equivalent rank as the accused person where the accused is an officer and; (b) the lowest ranking officer in the Defence Forces where the accused is a service member. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, this was an improvement on the drafting and it was proposed by the user. You can see that this section deals with court martials. This is a military even and, therefore, it was just meant to cure some of the areas that they may not have drafted properly in the Bill."
