No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I was very categorical on this one because we avoided moving the amendment. For us the amendment to paragraph (a) of this clause is not moved and that is why I was very categorical that we are not opposed to Clause 10(b). If at all it is a question of paragraph (a) of this Clause, then the amendment has not been moved.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, 4232 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 6, 2006 the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Public Works sat with the Ministry of Energy and the Minister and it was agreed that Clause 10 (a) remains as it is and that should enable the operations of the Authority to be effected as quickly as possible otherwise it might take another one year to make the Authority operational. So, I oppose the amendment.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the word "may" will give the Minister a leeway in case of any objection arising from any quarters, to have the matter negotiated.

Thank you, Mr.Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. It is just the wording, because what the Minister is asking for is that we already had a problem with Clause 10, and we had to move an amendment to separate the two subclauses. That is what we are asking him to do. Before he does that, I want to assure the hon. Member and the House that the Government has not been appointing chief executive on two-year contracts. It is, in fact, three years. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it would be unfair to ask a professional to disrupt his career to ...
