STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
I
Act 15 of 1963.- In order to give adequate facilities to Parliamentary Secretaries to attend to their duties, it is considered necessary to make a law. Provision has accordingly been made in the Bill to provide them free furnished residence in Bangalore or in lieu thereof a house rent allowance of Rs. 150 per mensem, for payment of travelling and daily allowances in respect of tours and halts and for free medical aid.
Hence this Bill.
(Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2C, dated 8th April 1963 as No. 59 at page 6.)
II
Amending Act 7 of 1999.- The Parliamentary Secretaries Allowances Act, 1963 does not contain provisions regarding his appointment, duties and functions, taking oath of office and salary payable to him.
Therefore it is considered necessary to provide for the same by suitably amending the said Act.
Hence the Bill.
