I would like to have clarification from the Chair. Is Clause 24ZC (3), which says “The levy on tea imports shall be charged at a rate of one hundred per centum of the value of the imported teas” correct? Is it 100 per centum? Let me get some clarification. Is 100 per centum a levy?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. With a lot of respect for my Commissioner, why should we enact a law where if somebody feels violated… I am not a lawyer but, is it possible for us to put provisions in this Act for somebody who feels violated?

Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. Now that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is in the House, he should engage the TSC on this matter at a national level. There are many principals who are transferred and the deputy principals are left to act as principals. When they act for a year or two, they are not remunerated or promoted to principals for the extra work.
