I move amendment No. 35:
Fortunately, the amendment does not represent a charge on the Exchequer and could be accepted. The arrangements in place in respect of amendments of this kind are ludicrous, but parliamentary reform is another day’s work.
In page 11, before section 8, to insert the following new section:
“8.—(1) The Minister shall from time to time select bodies to be included on a published list of adjudicator nominating bodies.
(2) The Minister shall issue a code of practice governing the conduct of adjudicator nominating bodies.
(3) The Minister may amend the list of approved adjudicator nominating bodies to remove a body from the list where he or she considers such a body to be in breach of the code of practice.”.
