I move amendment No. 1:

In page 20, line 21, to delete “subject to subsection (6),”.

This is a technical amendment which removes the proviso that section 23(5)(d) is subject to subsection (6) of that section. Subsection (6) does not relate to subsection (5)(d) and, therefore, the inclusion of the text has no effect. The proviso was included in an earlier draft of the Bill and should have been removed when it was found to be unnecessary. The text proposed to be deleted is superfluous.
