I move amendment No. 12:

In page 23, line 1, to delete “give a direction in writing to the Commission requiring it to comply with” and substitute “request the Commission to comply with”.

This is a small technical amendment which states that the Minister and his officials can issue a direction and are not restricted to writing. My amendment proposes that they can use any new kind of technology that is available, or that might be available and that we do not know about, to communicate with the commission.
