    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 167 of the Bill be amended by inserting a new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (2) ― “(3) A distribution license shall not be granted in respect of any location which is less than one quarter of a square kilometres: Provided that this shall not apply in cases of islands in recognised rivers, lakes and in the exclusive economic zone”. We do not want to give very small portions to licences. We have given a specific that it should not be less than quarter of a square kilometer, so that you do not allow many people in a very small area. My brother, the Vice-Chair, has visited Canada and they do oil exploration and production. Almost everywhere within a certain few kilometres, everyone is doing that, but that is different because their jurisdiction is very different from ours. So, we are giving a specific area provided this shall not apply in cases of islands, in recognised rivers and lakes. That will not affect those kinds of areas. But in the mainland, the minimum is a quarter of a kilometre square."
