I move amendment No. 11:

In page 33, line 3, to delete “is convicted of” and substitute “commits”.

Amendment Nos. 11 and 19 are technical drafting amendments which replace the words "is convicted of an offence" with "commits an offence" in sections 36 and 81. These amendments will have the result that a person renders themselves liable to a fine as a result of committing an offence and not on being convicted of an offence.
