    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (2)- (3) The administrator to whom a request is made under subsection (1), shall, within thirty days after receiving the request, furnish the applicant, in writing, the reasons for the administrative action. (4) Subject to subsection (5), if an administrator fails to furnish the applicant with the reasons for the administrative decision or action, the administrative action or decision shall, in any proceedings for review of such action or decision and in the absence of proof to the contrary, be presumed to have been taken without good reason. (5) An administrator may depart from the requirement to furnish adequate reasons if it is reasonable and justifiable in the circumstances, and shall inform the person making the request of such departure. This Clause relates to requests for reasons for administrative action. We said we need to provide clear timelines to ensure that if somebody has requested for reasons administrative action has been taken, then that should be provided. We have given timelines that ensure that administration of justice is expedited. That is the reason we are amending Clause 6."
