Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as said by the Mover, I support this amendment although it was brought this morning. It does not deal with procurement itself, it deals with submission of procurement plans to the National Treasury. It has nothing to do with the actual procurement. It deals with publishing or submitting the procurement plans to the National Treasury, which may lead to insecurity. I support the exemption of the national security organs from the requirement to submit to the National Treasury their procurement plans.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, part of the amendment is meant to correct the English. The other part of the amendment is to clarify the ad hoc committee established under that clause; that it shall comprise of the heads of the user department and two other members. This is as opposed to what was provided before when it was saying that the adhoc committee will consist of, at least, three heads of department of the procuring entity. It was not providing for the user department. So, we said that one of them must be the user department and two other departments.
