    "content": "Well, of course, debate during Second Reading is usually better informed when a Committee has tabled a report. Of course in the Standing Orders, we have also provided, that should a Committee not provide a report, that may not be reason to bar debate on a Bill. So, I am assuming that hon. Asman Kamama’s Committee has some explanation to give. Since the Bill has already been moved and seconded, debate will proceed, not withstanding lack of a report. Fortunately, it is your own Standing Orders; I am not making this up. It is the Standing Orders that you have adopted, and I quite appreciate that the debate would have been more enriched, if there was a report tabled. If there is none, it is assumed that hon. Members, each one of you, first of all has read the principal Act, the National Police Service Act, so that you can then read the proposed amendments, within that context. First of all, it is important that you have knowledge of the principal Act, and then see what is proposed to be amended; if need be. You look at the report of the Committee, but the lack of a report does not mean that upon your reading of both the principal Act and proposed amendments, you suddenly become incapable of contributing. So proceed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
