I move amendment No. 23:

In page 24, to delete line 25 and substitute the following:
“27.--(1) Where a person--
(a) makes an offer of a gift of money, land or other property to an education and training board, or
(b) requests the board to act as a trustee of any trust or charity, the chief executive of that board shall, within one month of the offer or request being made, prepare and submit a proposal to the board setting out his or her observations on the offer or request, as the case may be, and his or her recommendation as to whether the board should accept the gift or agree to act as a trustee, as the case may be.
(2) Subject to subsection (2)*, an education and training”.

The purpose of this amendment is to place an obligation on a chief executive to submit a proposal to the members of an ETB where a person has made an offer of a gift of money, land or other property or has requested the board to act as a trustee of any trust or charity. There is no such obligation contained in the published Bill and this amendment will remedy that particular omission.
