    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the idea of compensation is good. I wish the Chairman was bold enough to stop it from being whimsical. Sub-clause 11 of the Bill provides that the compensation referred to under Section 10 may be facilitated through insurance schemes or compensation agreements as may be approved by the Defence Council from time to time. I would be happier if we could have a compensation scheme as part of a subsidiary legislation accompanying this Bill. There is a possibility that the Defence Council may not have a standardised way of arriving at compensations and then it becomes whimsical. I would like to request the Chairman of the Committee to amend this provision so that it does not become something that will be within the whims of the Defence Council. What one is entitled to when one suffers an injury should be clear."
