    "content": "10. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Act 2013 (No. 29 of 2013) 11. The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 (|No. 33 of 2015); and, 12. The National Employment Authority Act 2016 (No. 3 of 2016). Hon. Members, I wish to inform the House that I have received a letter from the Leader of the Majority Party requesting to withdraw the Bill from the House. Some of the statutes that the Bill intended to amend, namely the Children Act and the Civil Procedure Act, were erroneously omitted. Further, some of the statutes that the Bill proposes to amend are also contained in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44 of 2017). In this regard, the Mover intends to republish the Bill. I, therefore, direct that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 37 of 2017) be withdrawn from the House forthwith. Hon. Members, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (No.3) (National Assembly Bill No. 44 of 2017) on the other hand, contains amendments to the following statutes: 1. The Pensions Act (Cap. 189); 2. The Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap 244); 3. The Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licencing) Act 1988 (No. 9 of 1988); 4. The Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999 (No. 8 of 1999); 5. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act (No. 10 of 2011). I wish to inform the House that I have received a letter from the Leader of the Majority Party making a correction with regard to the Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act (No.9 of 1988). The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) (National Assembly Bill No.44 of 2017) erroneously makes reference to that Act as being No.9 of 1988 instead of the Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act of 2017. I direct the relevant Committee to take note of the correction during the consideration of the Bill. Being an omnibus Bill, the Bill is, therefore, referred to the relevant committees to consider amendments to the statutes under their mandates as follows: (1) The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to deal with aspects proposing amendments to: (a) The Pensions Act (Cap 189); and (b) The Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act (No.10 of 2011). (2) The Departmental Committee on Health to deal with the proposed amendments to: (a) The Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap 244); (b) The Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act, 2017; and (c) The Occupational Therapists (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act of 2017. (3) The Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to deal with the aspects proposing amendments to: (a) The Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (No.8 of 1999). (4) The Committee on Delegated Legislation to deal with the aspects proposed to amend: (a) The Statutory Instruments Act (No.23 of 2013). The above Committees should move with speed to consider the Bill and table their reports to the House, with the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning as the lead Committee on the Bill. I wish to remind the Committees that Standing Order No.127 (4) requires Committees to present their reports to the House on Bills before them so as to inform debate within 21 calendar days after Bills are referred to them. I, therefore, urge Chairpersons of 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."
