    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second this Motion. As my very able teacher has told the House, when you make this sort of thing, you must follow the law. The problem is that if you introduce an apportionment of funds to the Tourism Promotion Fund, it will be contrary and inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3(3) of the Air Passengers Service Charge Act, which is the enabling provision. This will amount to a violation of the Statutory Instruments Act. Therefore, when we make instruments or legislation which we receive from the Cabinet Secretary and which is contrary to the parent Act, it becomes illegal and void to that extent. Also, although the Tourism Promotion Fund has many benefits, we need the necessary legal framework having gone through public participation. It amounts to having two statutory bodies dealing with one fund and several conflicts could arise. Therefore, the money should serve the right purpose. It was better to annul this and give an opportunity to the Cabinet Secretary and the necessary authorities to bring an appropriate instrument, which I am sure this House will approve. I beg to second."
