    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 30. If we retain Clause 30 as it is in the Bill, it is a repeal or amendment of another law, the Children Act, which has very specific directions on how children should be treated. Children should not be deprived of liberty. They should not be subjected to cruel punishment and torture. This is also in the Constitution. So, we already have a very good Children Act. If we touch it, we are taking away something which is actually provided for in the Constitution and the Children Convention. Therefore, we should not touch the Children Act. If we delete this, we will leave the Children Act intact. We will not have weakened it, and the prevention of torture law that we are making will still be strong. Thank you."
