Amendment No. 11 would replace the reference to "any conditions" with the words "each condition" in section 6. It would appear that the aim of the amendment is to ensure that separate reasons would have to be given for each condition rather than giving reasons for the imposition of conditions generally. However, in the context in which it is used here, I am of the opinion that the meaning is the same and that the word "any" also takes account of circumstances in which no conditions beyond those that are mandatory are imposed. I do not consider that the amendment would have any material effect on the provision and the wording used is that considered most appropriate by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. I am, however, happy to have my officials consult the Parliamentary Counsel on the alternate wording if the Deputy wishes and if she wants to revisit the matter on Report Stage.
