This amendment is technical and necessary to correct an error that occurred in the drafting process. Section 266(k)(ii) amends section 47(1A) of the Coroners Act 1962, a provision which allows for the current ombudsman commission to perform functions in relation to requesting the exhumation of bodies in certain circumstances. Section 266(k)(ii) updates references to the ombudsman commission with reference to the police ombudsman but, as currently drafted, it has two references to the body of the police ombudsman when they should be to the body by the police ombudsman. This amendment has corrected these errors.
