I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:"Definitions

2. In this Part—
“Act of 2010” means the Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2010;

“Principal Act” means the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005.".

The amendments involve minor changes to the Bill to include additional definitions in section 2. Amendment No. 2 inserts a new definition which provides that the term "the Act of 2010" will mean the Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2010. Amendment No. 8 amends section 5 as a consequence of amendment No. 2. The reference to the Social Welfare and Pensions Act 2002 in section 5 is being amended to refer to the 2010 Act. This is a basic social welfare law which is set out in the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 and amended on a regular basis.
