    "content": "Yes. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I beg to move:- THAT, clause 17 be amended by deleting subclause (4). On this clause, the recommendation of the Committee is to the extent of Subclause (4). The Committee proposes that Sub-clause (4) be deleted and that requires a referendum because it proposes very draconian penalties to Members and their parties, if they fail to comply with the requirements of this particular law. The proposal earlier in the Bill was that, if you fail to comply or commit any offence, at the first instance, you will get disqualified from contesting in that election or referendum. The proposal by the Committee which I will come to in the new clause is a structured punishment mode that, first there is a notice to comply followed by another penalty and then only at the final instance would disqualification be applied. In any case, it is indeed, true that if a party does not qualify or a Member does not qualify or if a member does not comply with its requirements, they can be disqualified, but the Committee does not want that to be at the first instance. That should be as a final result and as a final penalty. 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."
