I put them together.

I told the person who was proposing the amendments that if they appear together on the Order Paper, he should just say: "As it is in the Order Paper". That is how he proposed it and that is how we put it. I even put the Question on Clause 6(b), (c) and (d) together, and that is what was voted on.

What is wrong with the way we have put it?

I want to make it clear that our rules make it difficult for us to proceed and we have to think of what to do. If it really does not change the substance--- When we were doing that, you were all attentive when I said "(b), (c) and (d)". I even asked if we should put them together and you all said "yes". Then I did.

If you remember, I proposed that Clause 6(b), (c) and (d) be part of the Bill. That is what was passed!

In fact, it has been amended.

Unfortunately, it is not going to be easy for me to revisit an issue on which we have voted and a resolution arrived at.

I want you to understand that the whole of Clause 6 has been amended by you. I finally put the Question that Clause 6 as amended be part of the Bill and you agreed to it. You will have to go back to the time before I put the Question.

Order! As I consult, I want to tell you that that Clause has been dealt with. In fact, those things should have come in as I was proposing. I remember keeping quiet for a while after proposing the Question since I expected somebody to rise and raise the matter before I put the Question and nobody rose. Somebody should have stopped me before I said: "Clause 6 as amended be part of the Bill", for which you all said "Aye" and, therefore, we have passed the matter. We need to move to the next set of clauses. Now, unless otherwise ...

Hon, Members let me say this and it is my position: Clause 6 as amended was proposed, the Question was put and carried. Maybe the Attorney-General can help us. Once you reach that stage where you have actually proposed, put July 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1911 and carried or even negatived the clause, it is finished. It is a clause.
