THAT, Clause 8 be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “introduce into the Senate” appearing in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the word “review”. Again, this is to clean up. The introduction of the same Motion in Senate had been omitted. We are now saying “introduce into Senate” in the same Motion.
