I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, line 8, to delete “employees” and substitute “full-time employees".

These are technical amendments to close off the possible loophole in respect of part-time employees. If people read paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 5(2) of the principal Act and the new paragraphs (d) and (e) that are to be inserted by section 4 of the Bill, they will see that a body may fall outside the scope of the new paragraphs (b) to (e), as currently drafted in the Bill, solely on the basis that it has only one part-time employee. The amendments have been drawn up to address this issue.
