Deputy O'Keeffe's amendment No. 92 proposes the insertion of the words "where the permission of that person has been obtained" in subsection (6)(b) in regard to applications for a limited certificate for a shotgun. I refer the Deputy to subsection (11) of the new section 30 which provides at paragraph (a) that a limited certificate relating to land occupied by a person other than the applicant "shall not be granted unless the occupier of the land has given the applicant a nomination in writing for holding the certificate". Deputy O'Keeffe's amendment refers to permission being obtained while this subsection speaks of a nomination in writing. We are essentially ad idem on this point.
