I move amendment No. 16:

In page 16, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following: “(c) in section 128A, by the substitution, in the definition of “chief officer”, of “section 128D(1)(b)” for “section 128E(1)”,”.

These are all minor or typographical amendments. Amendment No. 16 is a minor technical amendment required to correct the referencing error in the Local Government Act 2001. Section 128 of the 2001 Act provides that the chief officer of a local community development committee is a person designated to that role by the chief executive of the local authority concerned under section 128E(1). The reference to section 128E is an error in the Act as that section is a regulation-making power and is not the correct reference. The correct reference is to the power to designate a chief officer is in section 128D(1)(b). This amendment makes the necessary correction.

Amendment No. 43 inserts the word “of” into the amendment to the Electoral Act 1992 proposed under section 36(j)(III) of the Bill.

Similarly, amendment No. 53 corrects a typographical error in the amendment proposed to the Electoral Act under section 37(p)(i)(II) of the Bill.
