I move amendment No. 139:

In page 19, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following: "(10) Where no birth information is available, the Authority shall seize all records relating to the relevant person’s adoption and/or illegal birth registration and open an investigation into what transpired. The applicant will be kept informed and will be consulted throughout the course of the investigation.".
