    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to, at the outset, say that I support, but with proposed amendments. I am very happy that the hon. Member who has just spoken ahead of me--- We share a lot in terms of thoughts. I will speak very briefly on the issue of miscellaneous amendments. I hope your office will be guiding us even as we move forward. I am glad that this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) is even smaller. Last year, we had two Bills; this one and another one! They were very heavy. They were bringing very comprehensive amendments to Bills. The essence of a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) is to bring miscellaneous amendments and not substantive amendments. The reason I am saying that is because, sometimes, we end up making very grievous mistakes and Parliament has been blamed. If we are going to look at seven pieces of legislation from this--- Even for us to contextualize the amendments, we have to read almost the entire Bill. So, I would like to urge the Leader of Majority Party that when he is bringing such Bills, we should be limited in terms of the laws that we are seeking to amend."
