I move amendment No. 25:

In page 28, to delete lines 22 to 26 and substitute the following:

"(4) Where, on the basis of the information contained in a new works assessment or in a revised new works assessment under subsection (3), the Commission is satisfied——

(a) that the proposed method of construction, installation or assembly is adequate to ensure, in so far as reasonably practicable, the safety of persons during that construction, installation or assembly, and

(b) as to the expected operational safety of the new works,

the Commission shall communicate in writing its acceptance of a new works assessment to the railway undertaking concerned.

(5) A railway undertaking shall obtain the consent of the Commission before bringing into operation the completed new works.".
