I move amendment No. 103:

In page 14, line 8, to delete “or has been,”.

This is a technical amendment proposed by the Office of Parliamentary Counsel for the purposes of accuracy. The definition of incorrect birth registration is purposely 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 to the birth register. Therefore on the grounds of accuracy, the amendment simply removes the redundant words "or has been" to this reference to persons affected by an illegal birth registration. This ensures alignment with section 23 of the Bill.
