I move amendment No. 68:

In page 19, to delete line 37 and substitute the following: “(2) This Act shall come into operation on such day or days as the Minister for Finance may by order or orders appoint either generally or with reference to any particular purpose or provision and different days may be so appointed for different purposes or different provisions.”.

This amendment sets out in clear terms the Minister for Finance's power to appoint the date of commencement of the Act or appoint different days for different provisions or purposes.
