I will speak to my amendment before I respond to the points raised. I proposed amendments Nos. 81, 82 and 103. They are technical amendments proposed by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel for the purposes of accuracy. The definition of "incorrect birth registration" is purposefully constructed so that a person who is the subject of an illegal birth registration will always come within the scope of the definition, even after the correction of the birth register. Therefore, on the grounds of accuracy, this set of amendments simply removes the redundant words "or has been" in references to persons affected by an illegal birth registration, and this ensures alignment with other sections of the Bill.
