I move amendment No. 125:

In page 55, lines 18 to 22, to delete all words from and including "(1) For" in line 18 down to and including line 22.

Section 59(1) of the Bill, as initiated, stated section 46 of the Status of Children Act 1987 shall be construed to allow the removal of the presumption of legal parentage in respect of the husband of a surrogate mother. Amendment No. 125 deletes section 59(1) of the Bill, as initiated, and amendment No. 228 amends the Status of Children Act 1987 to achieve the same goal, while also extending the removal of the presumption concerning the husband of a surrogate mother in an international surrogacy agreement.
