THAT clause 17 be deleted and substituted with the following new clause- 17. A State officer shall not participate in a tender for the supply of goods or services to a public entity, but the holding of shares by a State officer in a company listed or quoted on a securities exchange shall not be construed as indirect tendering unless the State officer has a controlling or substantial interest in the company. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the proposed amendment to Clause 17 does not exactly carry what the Committee wanted to amend. So, as a result, we wish to withdraw that amendment."}
