I am curious as to the wording of the amendment, which contains the phrase "by the Board with the approval of the Minister given". It is rather unusual use of the English language. I have not seen it before. What does it mean? Does it mean the prior approval of the Minister?

Does it mean the prior approval of two Ministers? Is it Minister or Ministers? It could be worded as "given the approval of the Minister" but "the approval of the Minister given" is something I have never seen before. I do not know why it has been drafted in that fashion or in parliamentary draftsman's language. Perhaps my education has been greatly neglected along the way. I just want to know if it means something of which we are not aware. The phrase is used twice and I do not know what it means. If necessary, will the Minister of State examine the wording and clarify it on Report Stage? That would be fine.
