I move amendment No. 94:

In page 29, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: "Amendment of section 5 of Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016

34.
Section 5(5)(c) of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016 is amended by the insertion of “6A,” after “6,” and the insertion of “7A,” after “7,”.”.

This is another small technical amendment to correct an omission to the consequential amendments in the Bill as originally presented. This amendment will insert a new section, which brings the hate-aggravated version of two minor public order offences within the scope of section 5(5)(c) of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016 where the ordinary version of the offences are already included.
