    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended− (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause− “(1) An application for the grant of refugee status shall be made to the Secretariat either directly or through an authorized officer or an officer of the United Nations appointed by the Committee.” (b) by deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause− “(2) An authorized officer to whom any asylum seeker presents himself or herself shall refer that asylum seeker to the relevant authority.” (c) by deleting the word “Commissioner” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “Director”. The justification for this clause is that the refugee status determination is a function of the Government. Therefore, the amendment seeks to clearly provide that such an application may only be made by the secretariat or an authorised officer by the Refugee Advisory Committee. 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."
