The Chair will correct me if I am wrong but in terms of groupings, I have amendment Nos. 1 to 3, inclusive, 6, 12, 13, 15, 24, 30, 39, 40, 41, 48 and 67. I will speak to them broadly now if that is okay.

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 9, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:
“ “coroner” has the same meaning as it has in section 2(1) of the Act of 1962;”

We are making an amendment to a number of definitions in the Bill to assist with interpretation and to align the definitions with their meanings as already defined in other Acts. They are largely technical amendments, and we will go through them. Amendment No. 1 amends section 2 to include a definition of "coroner" to assist with interpretation and to align with the Coroners Act 1962. Should I speak to all the amendments in the group?
