I move amendment No. 135:

In page 41, to delete lines 23 to 38 and substitute the following:“(4) Where—

(a) on the date an application referred to in subsection (3) is made, the type of employment referred to in subsection (3)(a)—

(i) is no longer specified in regulations under section 14 as an employment, or no longer falls within a category of employment specified in those regulations, for which an employment permit may be granted in respect of the purpose referred to in subsection (1), or
(ii) 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 for that employment by a foreign national to whom this section applies notwithstanding that the employment is no longer an employment, or falls within a category of employment, for which an employment permit may be granted or is an employment, or falls within a category of employment specified in regulations under section 14 for which an employment permit shall not be granted.”.
