I move amendment No. 14:

In page 18, line 32, to delete “, by substituting for subsection (3) the following:” and substitute the following:“—
(i) in subsection (1) (as amended by section 9(a) of the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995 by substituting “with the prior consent of the majority-shareholding Minister, given where the majority-shareholding Minister is not the Minister for Finance with the approval of the Minister for Finance” for “with the prior consent of the Minister given with the approval of the Minister for Finance”, and
(ii) by substituting for subsection (3) the following:”.

The amendment has been proposed to address a ministerial consent provision in the 1976 Act which was omitted from the Bill but will now be provided for. The consent provision aligns with the other majority shareholding Minister consent in the Bill.
