I move amendment No. 48:

In page 36, to delete lines 10 to 18 and substitute the following:

“(2) The appropriate court, on application to it by the Insolvency Service, may extend the supervision period where it is satisfied that such extension is necessary in order to allow the Insolvency Service to—

(a) carry out or complete an investigation under section 37, or

(b) take any other action it considers necessary (whether as a result of such an investigation or otherwise) in relation to the Notice concerned.”.

The purpose of amendments Nos. 48 and 49 is to improve on the existing construction used in sections 31(2) and 31(3) to provide greater clarity. Amendment No. 50 provides for necessary and more specific cross-referencing in section 35(5) than is contained in the existing text.
