I move amendment No. 19:

In page 9, to delete lines 2 and 3 and substitute the following:“(a) in respect of the first review, not later than twelve months after the coming into operation of this section,”.

The paragraph to which this relates confused me. The Water Charges (No. 2) Act 2013 concerns the water charges plan and the review period put in place once the commission introduces a plan for the charging of water services. If I read the section correctly - and I will stand corrected if I am wrong - this would allow a review of the report that has just been carried out within six months, which is a very short period of time. I could be wrong on that.
