I move amendment No. 74:

In page 88, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following:
“Amendment of Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003
80. Section 56 of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003 is amended by substituting the following subsection for subsection (6):“(6) The chief executive, and a person nominated for such appointment by the chairperson of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, shall each be a member of the Board.”.”.

At present, the chief executive officer of the National Consumer Agency is a standing member of the board of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board in order to represent consumer interests. As the new competition and consumer protection commission will not have a chief executive officer, an amendment by way of a new section is required to allow a nominee of the chairperson of the commission to sit on the board of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board.
