I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:“(3) The relevant statute may be cited as the Association for Promoting Christian Knowledge Act 1800.”.

Amendment No. 1 proposes a minor technical change to add a Short Title to the Act of 1800 being reinstated by section 3 of the Bill. It has been the practice with prior Statute Law Revision Acts to create a Short Title for any Acts remaining on the Statute Book if one does not exist already. The addition of the Short Title in this instance eliminates a minor anomaly that would otherwise have left the Act of 1800 as the only in force Act on the Statute Book without a Short Title.

Amendment No. 2 is a minor technical amendment to amend the Long Title of the Bill to reflect the amendment of the Statute Law Revision Bill 2007 and provided for in section 3. This is in order to avoid any doubt that the provisions of section 3 are within the ambit of the Bill.
