2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, the question by the hon. Member for Gem is different. However, I want to state that it was a Cabinet decision to purchase shares in De La Rue Company. There were certain parameters that Cabinet set which are currently being discussed. The relevant committee in this case is the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Once final Cabinet approval is obtained, we will have to revert to this Committee before that transaction can be concluded. Hence, all the issues that he is raising will be discussed before those negotiations are finalized.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry to keep saying so, but that again is a different question because the Question is on the wisdom of the investment. The question that has been asked is about a tender for the printing of new currency, whether one has been issued or not.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may, could I engage the hon. Questioner on this issue, so that I can also find out what the procedures are because I am not quite familiar with them. That is why I said “I will endeavor.” Can I engage the hon. Questioner and ensure that I am tabling it at an appropriate time. I seek your indulgence.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I may give an undertaking that it may be given tomorrow because I am not sure whether I will get hold of the Minister concerned within the few hours remaining before the afternoon session starts.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I do not want to give an undertaking that might not be possible to fulfill. Members are saying that she was here this morning but I still would need to get hold of the relevant Minister. That is why I am saying that I would like to undertake personally that the Statement will be given tomorrow afternoon.
