_________ ">SHRI A.C. JOS (MUKUNDAPURAM): Sir, I am thankful to you for having given me this opportunity to speak on this Bill. I welcome the Bill for enhancing the cess from 50 paise to more than Rs.5.

SHRI TAPAN SIKDAR (DUMDUM): Please ask him to table the amendment.

SHRI R.S. GAVAI : I know my business. I can move my amendment.

MR. CHAIRMAN: Shri Jos, you continue.

SHRI A.C. JOS I can understand the Government's point. The Government is now fixing it at one rupee. At the same time the Minister has a prerogative to enhance it up to five rupees. What is the reason for fixing it at rupee one? As he said the Financial Memorandum says one thing and the main Act says something else. There can be a possibility for misinterpretation. The Minister may look into it.

MR. CHAIRMAN: There are many Members to speak on this Bill and we have to conclude by seven o'clock.

SHRI A.C. JOS : I am mentioning only the points, Sir.

SHRI A.C. JOS : Sir, they have a housing scheme, but do they think that the amount now stipulated for constructing a house under that scheme is sufficient? Everybody has expressed his desire that the amount under the housing scheme should be enhanced to make it reasonable. At the same time, subsidy should also be given to them. These are all poor workers. They are all illiterate and are mainly women. Our Urban Development Minister has been going about throughout the country, saying that he will solve the housing problem. So, I request the Labour Minister that instructions may be issued to give more subsidy to these workers so that they can construct their houses.
