STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
In order to enable a Member of Parliament to discharge his duties efficiently in that capacity , it is of utmost necessity that he should be provided with free accommodation and the facility of free local telephone calls , in addition to free postage and medical treatment .
Ex-members of Parliament often pass their retired lives in destitu- tion after having served the nation for one or two terms . It is , there- fore, proposed that a member who has completed one full term as a mem- ber of Parliament should be entitled to receive a pension . They should also be provided with free transit by railways as also the medical faci- lities .
Hence the Bill.

[PART II- 304
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The special status of the State of Jammu and Kashmir being main- tained even after more than 20 years of the comencement of the Consti- tution is an anachronism which must be discarded now . The general legislative competence of Parliament should not be dependent on the sweet - will of the State so far as matters included in the Union List are concerned . It is , therefore, necessary that the power of Parliament to legislate on matters included in the Union List must be restored imme- diately. In any case the special position enjoyed by the State of Jammu and Kashmir must be ended by the end of 1972 .
Hence this Bill .

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The armed aggression by Pakistan in 1971 on our motherland has taken heavy toll of our army . Our second line of defence i.e. the Terri- torial Army and Border Security Force's courage to fight shoulder to shoulder with our Armed Forces in the battle field necessitates the need of imparting military training to all the able -bodied persons in the coun- try which may be of immense use for the country in future war with any strong country and particularly with China and will also help in maintaining vigil on the vast borders of our country.
Hence this Bill .

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

The maters in respect of which the Government is required to prescribe the procedure are relating to the authorities of the scheme which are to be appointed, the training to be imparted , necessary material and equipment to be supplied etc. All these are matters of procedural nature . The delegation of legislative power is thus of a normal character .
