Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I can see why hon. Khalwale is likely to be a Senator.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have a contrary view because in respect of all the Bills that we have been passing here, where regulations are made, Parliament has to go through them. So, we should not provide for an exception. In this case, we are talking of the Senate. You cannot just create regulations which can have serious implications and the Senate is not involved. So, I would say that we leave it as it is. Otherwise, we could have a rogue Cabinet Secretary and we have problems of gazettement of all sorts of regulations.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that will completely negate the purpose of this Bill.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I can see the linkage. I really have no problem. The only thing is that I wanted to stand guided by the lawyers about whether it is constitutional. That is my only query. Otherwise, I really have no problems.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think the import is that, if I got him right, he wants the names to be approved by Parliament. But why do you want to delete the words, âin consultation with the Prime Ministerâ?

23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I would say is that I am aware that the Committee is also bringing in the adjustment on the Schedule to incorporate the approval of the names by Parliament. If we leave Clause 5(a) as it is but add the words, âwith the approval of the National Assembly and in accordance with the Scheduleâ so that we avoid the deleting, it will be fine. If that can be harmonized, then it makes sense.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am proposing that Clause 5(a) of the Bill on page 118 should read:- âA chairperson and eight other members appointed by the President, in consultation with the Prime Minister and with the approval of the National Assembly as provided in the Scheduleâ.
