I move amendment No. 35:

In page 11, before section 8, to insert the following new section:
“8.—(1) The Minister shall from time to time select bodies to be included on a published list of adjudicator nominating bodies.
(2) The Minister shall issue a code of practice governing the conduct of adjudicator nominating bodies.
(3) The Minister may amend the list of approved adjudicator nominating bodies to remove a body from the list where he or she considers such a body to be in breach of the code of practice.”.

Fortunately, the amendment does not represent a charge on the Exchequer and could be accepted. The arrangements in place in respect of amendments of this kind are ludicrous, but parliamentary reform is another day’s work.
