I move amendment No. 2:


In page 3, subsection (2), line 22, after “Act” to insert “other than section 24”.
Section 24 sets out how water will be charged for and regulated. I propose that we insert a new section. This amendment proposes that we insert "other than section 24" because it is obviously in conflict with that new section. Amendment No. 3 proposes between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following subsection: "(3) Section 24 of this Act shall come in to operation after the 1st of January 2014, or following a review of that section under section 24(4), whichever date is the later.". This is a reference to the subsection proposed to be inserted by a later amendment.
