I move amendment No. 11:

In page 16, line 8, to delete “section 15G” and substitute “this Part”.

These amendments make some small technical amendments to the language dealing with prohibition notices in new sections 15H to 15G to be inserted into the Competition Act 2002 by the Bill. A prohibition notice can be used where there is a risk of serious and irreparable damage to competition law and may outline activities that an undertaking or undertakings may have to perform or cease in order to prevent this harm. Again, these amendments are aimed at clarifying the meaning of the sections and ensuring the Bill reaches high standards.
