I move amendment No. 21:

In page 28, lines 39 to 44, to delete paragraph 6 and substitute the following:“6. Any work or activity which consists of the provision of advice, guidance or developmental services (including by means of electronic interactive communications) to children unless the provision of the advice, guidance or developmental service is merely incidental to the provision of those services to persons who are not children.”.

These are minor technical amendments. They delete the reference to "counselling services" in these two paragraphs because the requirement for persons providing counselling services to apply for vetting is already contained in paragraph 3 of Schedule 1, Part 1 and in paragraph 2 of Schedule 1, Part 2. In practical terms, this is a technical amendment.
