I move amendment No. 74:

In page 18, to delete lines 11 to 18 and substitute the following:

"(d) by the insertion, in section 5, of the following subsections:

"(2A) The hours of work specified in a community service order under subsection (1A) (inserted by section 17 of the Act of 2010) of section 3 shall be additional to any hours of work specified in any other community service order made in respect of the offender.

(2B) In determining the number of hours of work to specify in a community service order under subsection (1A) of section 3 the court shall take account of—

(a) any sum or sums paid by the offender concerned in satisfaction of part of the fine, and

(b) any part of the fine, or any sum or sums from the proceeds of the sale of property of the offender sufficient to pay part only of that fine, recovered by the receiver appointed under section 15 of the Act of 2010.",".
