I move amendment No. 43:

In page 44, line 24, after “investigation,” to insert “such a period being at least 5 years,”.

This section reads:

The regulator may decide not to investigate a complaint (or to discontinue it) on the grounds that— ...

(c) the unfair trading practice occurred too long ago to justify investigation

Our amendment would stipulate that such a period would be at least five years, thereby providing clarification of what "too long ago" means. A minimum period could be helpful in directing the regulator.
