Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 16 of the Bill be amended in subclause (1) by deleting the words “including those provided by religious institutions and any suitable cultural programmes subject to their satisfaction that these programmes will not in any way undermine the objects of this Act or the values and principles of the Constitution” and substituting therefor the words “or any other programme that is acceptable to the court” Religious institutions are not necessarily the only institutions which have programmes that are acceptable.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 19 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “is inciting or encouraging, or has incited or encouraged, the respondent to engage in behaviour against a protected person where that behaviour, if engaged in by respondent, would amount to domestic violence” and substituting therefor the words “aids and abets the respondent”; (b) by deleting sub-clause (2); The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The reason we are proposing deletion of Clause 19(2) is that, that particular subclause proposes that a direction may be made pursuant to subclause 1on whether the behaviour against a protected person was committed before or after the person became a protected person. Now, you cannot apply the law retrospectively before the matter was brought before court. It has to be determined whether that behaviour was committed before the matter went to court or not. That is inconsistent with the law itself. There is no application of law retrospectively. So, we are saying that ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Again, with regard to this clause, while reviewing the notes of the Committee, we found that it was proposed to be deleted wrongly in the Order Paper. I, therefore, drop the proposed deletion.
