"content": "level. There are those who know that the Constitution, probably, gives this position to the central Government. Our aim and understanding all the time was to avoid double taxation of the poor farmer. But we are not closed to discussing that matter afresh in the Committee. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, we will have to define what we mean by “scheduled crops” because we certainly did not intend that growers of green grams, maize, beans and potatoes will be asked to pay cess, very far from it. So, we will have to redefine it before it comes up for the Third Reading. As far as land use itself is concerned, you know that a lot of what we are talking about has already been taken care of in the Bills that came from the Ministry of Lands. Nevertheless, we will borrow from that and clarify by the time we get to the Third Reading. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the pyrethrum issue has been discussed here, but it is not the only crop. We discussed it in the Committee. There is an amendment already coming to take care of that. Let me once more say that the comments have enriched the draft that we brought here. By the time we come back here, it should be more or less where we think it ought to be. Once more, I thank everyone."
