I move amendment No. 50:

In page 41, line 1, to delete “Maternity Protection Acts 1994 and 2004” and substitute “Maternity Protection Acts 1994 to 2022”.

Members will be relieved to hear that these amendments are all correcting Acts of citation. So the amendments relate to the list of Acts cited at sections 52 and 61 that need to be updated in terms of the years references, which have been superseded by developments in the Statute Book. These only became clear after publication when more extensive technical checking of the provisions were undertaken. There is no change to the wording here. These amendments simply bring these sections up to date. A number of minor technical amendments are proposed to sections 52 and 61, as I have said, to bring these citations up to date, as required.
