    "content": "Well said Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is also the other way round. If we pass the Insolvency Bill and the Companies Bill without dealing with this Bill, there will be a lacuna within the same Bill. I agree with you though. That is why we are moving the Second Reading after those two Bills have been dealt with at the Second Reading. Once we bring them for the Third Reading, just before they go for assent, then this particular Bill will come to the Third Reading. That is the process. Even if you look at the publication period, you will realize that this Bill came after those two Bills had been read for the First Reading. These are Acts that have been dealt with in the Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill. Clause 23 of the Bill proposes to amend the Methylated Spirits Act. This will align it to Section 4 which is found in the provisions of the new Insolvency Bill. Clause 24 of the Bill proposes to amend the Law of Succession Act. This is done by deleting Section 89 of that Act. This also relates to insolvency of estates which is being dealt with extensively in this Insolvency Bill 2015, which has gone through the Second Reading this afternoon. Clause 25 of the Bill proposes to amend the Industrial Training Act. This provides the effect of bankruptcy on a contract of apprenticeship or in any form of learning within that Act. This is also provided for within the Companies Bill. I want to hurry up so that I can highlight a number of different sections and Acts that will become redundant or will be harmonized with the two laws that are before the House. Clause 26 is dealing with Section 31 of Narcotic Drugs and Substance Control Act. This is about the fees the Official Receiver is entitled to receive in the case of taking custody or control of a person’s property, who is dealing with drugs and other substances, and who has a restraining court order. Clause 27 of the Bill proposes to amend the Land Control Act. This is aligning it in terms of the definition of “private company” provided under the Companies Bill, 2015. Clause 28 of the Bill proposes to amend Section 42 of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act. This Clause relates to certificates of ownership for anyone possessing trophies. This amendment also deals with an administrator of a company which is under liquidation or administration and where a bankruptcy trustee or a personal representative of a deceased person’s estate can be in possession of trophies without having the certificate of ownership. That, again, is a matter of aligning Section 42 of that Act to the Insolvency Act. Clause 29 is amending Section 3 of the Uplands Bacon Factory Act. This is also deleting that section and making it in reference to the current Companies Act, Cap.486, which is aligning it to the law that is before Parliament.
