This amendment provides for the transfer of responsibility for the approval of all registration fees from the Director of Consumer Affairs to the Minister. It applies to all fees proposed by the registration bodies which relate to the registration of professionals. In reconsideration, it was felt this was not a matter that fell within the remit of the Director of Consumer Affairs or the new National Consumer Agency. Amendments Nos. 54 and 133 are no longer necessary in view of amendment No. 134.
