I move amendment No. 20:

In page 13, line 6, to delete “reasonable grounds for believing” and substitute “clear evidence”.

This amendment is similar to amendment No. 18. Section 13G(2) allows an employer to terminate flexible working arrangements if they have "reasonable grounds for believing" that the employee is not using it for the approved circumstances. "Reasonable grounds for believing" is another ambiguous and subjective term and I am suggesting its replacement with "clear evidence".
