I move amendment No. 146:

In page 43, to delete lines 3 to 12 and substitute the following:“(4) Where—

(a) at the time an application referred to in subsection (3) is made the type of employment referred to in subsection (3)(a) is specified in regulations under section 14 as an employment, or falls within a category of employment, in respect of which an employment permit shall not be granted, and
(b) the Minister is satisfied that the dismissal by the employer of the foreign national from the employment in respect of which the employment permit referred to in subsection (1) was granted was a dismissal by reason of redundancy,

the application may be made in respect of that employment by a foreign national to whom this section applies notwithstanding that the employment is an employment, or falls within a category of employment, that is specified in regulations under section 14 as an employment, or category of employment, for which an employment permit shall not be granted.”.
