"content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I agree with the Chairman of the Committee because my fears have already been taken care of by his amendment. So, I agree to withdraw my amendment but before I do so, I would like to say that when an hon. Member proposes an amendment to a Bill that is to be discussed by a Committee, it is important for the Committee to invite the Member as they discuss such amendments. I say so because my earlier amendments to Clauses 3 and 4 were dropped even before I was given a chance to explain their import. They would have been cured by simple amendments. Whereas we need to build railway lines, we also need jobs now. Therefore, taxation of raw materials for the manufacturing sectors should not be allowed. However, you did not give me an opportunity to explain myself. You just threw away the amendments. Therefore, I would advise Chairpersons of Committees to go that way in future. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
