Sorry Waziri. We are facing a strange situation where two Ministers put in proposals to amend the same clause. This is the Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology and yourself. The Deputy Leader of Government Business, this will put you in an embarrassing situation. You are giving amendments that contradict each other and yet you are in the same Government! The Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology, have you consulted your colleague or the Ministry? Can you give us some guidance on this issue?

Very well! So, all the amendments in today’s Order Paper from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology stand withdrawn. Is that the position, the Deputy Leader of Government Business?

Do you confirm that

11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
? The Deputy Leader of Government Business tells us - I would like his confirmation - that all amendments in today’s Bill originating from your Ministry stand withdrawn. I just want your confirmation that, that is the position of the Government.

We do not want to anticipate what will happen when the other Bill comes but as far as this House is concerned today; if you look at the Order Paper, any proposals for amendment to this Bill originating from the Ministry henceforth stand withdrawn and you have confirmed that. The Leader of Government Business made the request which you confirmed for the purposes of the HANSARD.
