I move amendment No. 68:

In page 104, between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following:
“ “ ‘Act of 2010’ means the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010;”.

This set of amendments effects a drafting revision required in order to ensure that the definitions applying for the purposes of the Adoptive Leave Act 1995 apply in full to the entire Act. The effect of the amendments will be to move those definitions into section 2(1) of the Adoptive Leave Act and to apply them to the whole Act, instead of subsection (1A) only.
