I move amendment No. 8:


In page 10, line 42, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".
Amendment No. 8 amends section 8(3) in respect of the powers of the receiver when a recovery order is made. The Bill says that the court may give the receiver the powers listed in section 8(3). The intention is that the receiver will be given all the powers concerned so for the avoidance of doubt, the word "may" is being replaced with the word "shall".
