I move amendment No. 46:


In page 62, to delete lines 8 to 15 and substitute the following:“(7) (a) Where the Minister for Social Protection is required under this section to notify a housing authority of the amount of a deduction in respect of rent or rent arrears or that a requested deduction has not been made, that requirement shall be satisfied if that Minister has, in respect of the authority to be notified, enabled the authority to have access to the information concerned in a manner that is agreed by the Minister and the Minister for Social Protection.
(b) An agreement between the Minister and the Minister for Social Protection for the purposes of paragraph (a)—
(i) shall include the period within which such information will be made accessible to the local authority concerned, after the deduction was made or after the date the deduction due has not been made, and
(ii) may include a time limit or a reference to the occurrence of one or more than one event after which the Minister for Social Protection is not required to make that information available to the local authority concerned in accordance with this subsection.”.
