I move amendment No. 27:

In page 24, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following: “13. The Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003 is amended—

(a) in section 4(3)(b) (amended by section 97 of the Act of 2006)—

(i) in subparagraph (iii), by the substitution of “application is made,” for “application is made.”, and

(ii) by the insertion of the following subparagraph after subparagraph (iii):“(iv) where the applicant is a natural person, made by a person who is over 18 years of age at the date of the application.”,

and

(b) in section 5 (amended by section 99(c) of the Act of 2006)—

(i) in subsection (1)(b), by the deletion of “of the 2003 Act”, and

(ii) in subsection (2)(b), by the deletion of “of the 2003 Act”.”.

This amendment, if accepted, will involve the deletion of section 13 in its entirety. It inserts a new provision into section 13, amending section 5 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003 and consequentially re-numbers the existing provisions of section 13 which amended section 4 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003. The new amendment is a technical amendment removing superfluous words from section 5 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 2003. This amendment however makes no amendment to the substantive provisions of section 13.
