• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Will that really come out the way I am saying that, that particular amendment be withdrawn? That is because the Minister November 13, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3509 has risen and said: "As it was before". So, I do not know whether it was as before on the Order Paper, or as it was before on the draft Bill. view
