Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I support the Vote, I would like the Ministry to emphasize the co-ordination of the various reforms that are going on in that sector.

Indeed, even in the first version of this Motion, it was wrongly quoted as Head 582.That is a typographical error on the face of the record which our committee did correct, but the Report had been tabled earlier on in the House and it was the property of the House.
