I move amendment No. 24:

In page 10, line 27, to delete “rules” and substitute “protocols”.

I have engaged with the racing regulatory body and have acceded to its request not to use the word "rules" in this context. The intention is to reserve the word "rules" for the racing regulatory body's rules of racing. This was a sensitive issue for the body and we are trying to deal with that.
