I move amendment No. 3:

In page 9, to delete line 26.

On Second Stage, Deputy Sean Fleming raised the issue of the simultaneous passage of this Bill and the Protected Disclosures Bill 2013. On Committee Stage, I promised to revert on Report Stage with amendments to bring both Bills into alignment. I therefore propose to achieve this by deletion of section 33 of the Bill, as amended in the select committee, and the reinstatement of the existing analogous section 87 of the Consumer Protection Act 2007 and section 50 of the Competition Act 2002, plus associated Schedules, which earlier had been earmarked for repeal but which are appropriately referenced in the Schedule to the Protected Disclosures Bill 2013, as well as the removal of the words "and in good faith" from both aforementioned sections. There also are consequential amendments to delete two references to section 33 of the Bill that are superfluous upon deletion of that section.
