Sir, I move:
“That for amendment No. 2775 of the List of Amendments, the following be substituted:-
“That article 226 be renumbered as clause (1) of article 226, and
(a) at the end of the said clause as so renumbered the words ‘while the resolution remains in force’ be added; and(b) after clause (1) of article 226, as so renumbered, the following clauses be added:-
‘(2) A resolution passed under clause (1) of this article shall remain in force for such period not exceeding one year as may be specified therein:
Provided that if and so often as a resolution approving the continuance in force of any such resolution is passed in the manner provided in clause (1) of this article, such resolution shall continue in force for a further period of one year from the date on which under this clause it would otherwise have ceased to be in force.
(3) A law made by Parliament which Parliament would not but for the passing of a resolution under clause (1) of this article have been competent to make shall to the extent of the incompetency cease to have effect on the expiration of a period of six months after the resolution has ceased to be in force, except as respects things done or omitted to be done before the expiration of the said period’.”
(Amendment No. 2776 was not moved.)
