    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to support the first part of this amendment. I have a problem with the amendment proposed in part (h) because it says that people who have engaged in acts prejudicial to national security or national interests will be denied licences. It is very easy to subject that to both subjective and objective considerations. Even the same prejudices that it talks about are easily subjected to the same. I plead with my brother to consider it, so that we do not shoot down this good amendment. I would be totally opposed to the possibility that we will license somebody to provide private security while he is acting in the interests of foreign powers. That is not in order. When you bring in subjective amendments or clauses like these which are prejudicial in themselves yet you state that those who have engaged in acts prejudicial to national security and interest will be penalised, it is wrong. I support (f), but oppose (h). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
