I move amendment No. 41:

In page 34, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:

"(2) Where the Chief Executive Officer proposes to make a determination under any paragraph of subsection (1), he or she shall, by notice in writing to the recipient of funding concerned, inform that recipient of funding that he or she proposes to make the determination and shall state the reasons therefor in the notice.

(3) A notice under subsection (2) shall state that the recipient of funding concerned may make representations to the Chief Executive Officer in relation to the reasons specified therein for the making of the determination not later than 14 days after the service of the notice on the recipient of funding.

(4) The Chief Executive Officer shall consider the representations (if any) made to him or her in accordance with subsection (3) and if he or she decides for the reasons stated in the notice under subsection (2) or otherwise to make the determination concerned with regard to the funding awarded to the recipient of funding concerned, he or she may proceed to make that determination.”.
