Let me check this one. The intention was not to reduce but to increase. What is captured by the Order Paper is not in tandem with what we wanted. Let me take a minute to check.

It is captured the other way round.

You are right. There is some confusion in terms of the Order Paper and the Bill. I want to retain what we had proposed because I have actually clarified that what we intended to do is to reduce the number of years. If you look at sub-clause seven, the term of office of the members of a Local Committee had been indicated as three. We were proposing to reduce it to two years so that it is easier to review their term within two years if they do not perform. You know two years is reasonable enough instead of three. ...
