    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that the Second Reading of the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.80 of 2019) was concluded yesterday, 10th March 2020. What now remains is for the Bill to proceed to the Committee stage. However, before the Bill proceeds to that stage, I wish to bring to the attention of the House the following information. Hon. Members, I have since received a letter from the Leader of the Majority Party requesting for my consent to withdraw proposed amendments to the Value Added Tax No.35 of 2013 from the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.80 of 2019). In his letter, he indicates these amendments will be appropriately dealt with during the consideration of the Finance Bill 2020, which is scheduled to be introduced before the House by 30th April 2020, latest. Hon. Members, I have acceded to the request. This implies that the Bill will now be proceeded with without making reference to the withdrawn provisions. Thus, the Bill should be dealt with as though the provisions proposing amendments to the Valued Added Tax No.35 of 2019 were not part of the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Members. Next Order!"
