I have been advised that Clause 93 refers to the professionally qualified members list as being those eligible to serve as provided for in clause 94. Clause 94(3) allows for rules to specify the requirements that a person must meet to be on that list, so the definition is not circular and we do not believe that a change is needed.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
