It is usually normal that we pass mediated versions of the Bills coming from Mediation Committees without contestations. But I am grateful for this opportunity to draw the Members’ attention to what is in Clause 9. That is the disqualifying factors to membership of a board particularly as proposed in the proposed new Clause (3A) (a) and (c). What is being said here is that if you were once convicted of a criminal offence for a term exceeding six months without the option of a fine, you cannot serve in that particular board. There are two problems there."}
