I move amendment No. 61:

In page 18, lines 26 to 28, to delete all words from and including “shall” in line 26 down to and including “section” in line 28 and substitute the following:“shall maintain fair and impartial procedures for the appeal of sanctions imposed under subsection (3)”.

This amendment is being made to reflect the fact that the rules of racing already contain fair and impartial measures and to ensure that those measures continue to be retained in some format in the rules of racing. Changes in this section are still being reviewed and I may need to bring forward further amendments on Report Stage but this is our best stab at it for the moment.
