    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Children Act No. 8 of 2001 by deleting— (c) the proposed new section 72A; Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the regulations say that the Cabinet Secretary may in consultation with the Council, make regulations for the better carrying out of the provisions of this part and in particular citing reasons made. It goes on. Colleagues, listen to this carefully: It goes on to list all the regulations. At the end, it states that having made regulations in consultation with the Council, notwithstanding any provision of those regulations, the Cabinet Secretary may direct the Council to cancel the registration or close down charitable organisations if the lives of the children are in danger. That sounds reasonable. The fear is that we have a situation where the Cabinet Secretary makes regulations and can then override the same Council. That is the gist of this amendment. I do not want to go into further details on that. I leave it to the Members to decide."
