    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Following your comments, honestly, this is a Bill that requires a lot of public participation. When we have no threshold to the level where amendments, if they exceed, we require republication of a particular legislation including the amendments, we have not had that. Honestly, amendments are messy. The only reason we missed the minimum qualifications is because of so many amendments and the final amendment cancelled all other amendments. We ended up with a recommendation that even a Standard Four leaver could be a Member of Parliament. With modern drafting and computers, the Leader of Majority Party could withdraw this Bill, put all the past legislations that are not being amended, insert all the new ones as a clear draft of the Bill, publish it and allow the public to see it. That is because the public will not quite see it “with delete this”, “amend this” and “add this”. I am only requesting that I support hon. (Eng.) Gumbo and your final observations. I am asking my brother: “Please! It will be neater and very quick. You can give us a new Bill within five days.”"
