I move amendment No. 56:

In page 49, line 32, to delete “1 April 2018” and substitute “31 July 2018”.

The amendment delays the implementation date of section 48 by approximately four months and is being made following representations from the motor industry to the effect that, due to vehicle purchase lead times and the cyclical nature of motor sales, this additional period was needed to allow stock ordered before the announcement date of the intended legislative amendment to clear through the supply chain.
