I move amendment No. 81:

In page 15, to delete lines 28 to 30 and substitute the following:“(2) Before producing or revising the code of conduct the Commission shall consult such persons carrying on lobbying activities and such bodies representing them, and such other persons, as the Commission considers appropriate.”.

This amends section 16(2) to ensure consistency between the wording of that section and the wording in amendment No. 5 to section 2, which also deals with consultation. There is no change to the substance of the section - it is simply to do with consistency of wording.
