I move amendment No. 62:

In page 175, to delete lines 8 and 9 and substitute the following:“(iii) in the case of a married person or civil partner, the name or surname by which he or she was known previously to his or her marriage or civil partnership.”.

The purpose of the further amendment to this section is to make provision for a married person or civil partner and by making the section gender neutral by providing for his or her. This subsection is drawn from existing law and clarifies the use of the terms “surname” and “former forename”.
