    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended– (a) by inserting the words “in accordance with subsection (5)” immediately after the word “prescribe” appearing at the end of the proposed new subsection (4) of Section 95; (b) by inserting the following new subsection immediately after the proposed subsection (4) of Section 95:- (5) A notice made under Subsection (4) shall- (a) come into operation upon the expiry of six months from the date of publication in the Gazette; and, (b) be made by the Commissioner only after consideration of the relevant international standards and practice. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the idea behind this amendment is that we need to give a grace period within which these companies are supposed to introduce the metering devices that have been proposed by the Minister. The effect is that we are giving them a six months grace period for them to introduce those metres. This is also to ensure that the metres that will be introduced meet the required international standards."
