I move amendment No. 12:

In page 28, line 17, to delete “12 months” and substitute “9 months”.

These amendments are about reducing the amount of time that people are waiting on wardships to be changed over to the new system. Currently, it stands at 12 months. We seek to reduce it to nine months. The other amendment seeks to reduce the relevant time in that instance from three years to 18 months.
