Mr. Speaker, Sir, since I do not want to be subjected to Standing Orders Nos. 108 and 109, I withdraw.

Correct, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I withdraw and apologise. The truth may be very painful. Indeed, there have been skewed allocations of awards in the past. God forbid, if you are from the marginalised and minority groups who are intentionally not recognized because you do not matter at all. I am concerned about Section 15 where it says:- “A person who held a national honour conferred by the President prior to the commencement of this Act, will continue to hold the honour under this Act.” The National Honours Advisory Committee, while making recommendations shall take cognizance of the existing stock levels ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, in appreciating the drafters of this Bill, I beg to be corrected if my memory serves me wrong. I did not see in the main Bill, whether there was an indication of how many times the boards can meet and what the number of mandatory boards is.

seconded. ( Question proposed)
