So you have a repetition of these marginal notes and, what I suggest is that the marginal notes as amended by the Committee should not find favour with the House, but the amendments to Clause 17(1) and deletion of Clause 17 (2), I agree entirely with the Committee. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, the marginal notes are what you see here as the Chair is saying; they are the entire Clause 17. view
