This clause, especially Sub- clause (2), looks very dangerous. I know where the Members are coming from because the time we had the Security (Amendment) Bill, I could see the desperation by the Serjeant-at-Arms when they were trying to protect the Hon. Speaker, the Mace and they could not do anything. Their hands were actually tied. But when we say any officer - Clause 2 says: “Officer of a House of Parliament means any officer acting within the precincts of Parliament”. That is a very dangerous thing. We either reject the whole clause as it is or we get an amendment that can actually give a better definition so that we do not make the clause very wide and more vague. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."}
