I move amendment No. 10:

In page 10, line 32, to delete “to” and substitute “relating to the functions transferred to the Authority under section 6 to”.

The purpose of section 18 is to allow the new body to provide advice and services to the Minister or other person on such terms and conditions as may be agreed. Amendment No. 10 is a technical drafting amendment designed to ensure that the section will only apply to the RPA functions being transferred to the NRA. This is necessary because a similar provision already applies to NRA functions and it is not appropriate to make provisions in legislation where such provisions already exist. Amendment No. 11 is also a technical amendment and is consequential on amendment No. 10.
