I move amendment No. 39:

In page 25, to delete lines 36 and 37.

I may have been a little premature in moving this amendment given that legislation on mental capacity is due before the House. However, the amendment provides the Minister with an opportunity to clarify the reason a paragraph referring to mental incapacity has been included in the section. What do the terms "legal disability" and "mental incapacity" mean in this context? Is this provision singling out particular groups of people?
