I move amendment No. 12:

In page 11, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:" "entity" means a person, body of persons, organisation or group;".
The expression "entity" has been used throughout the Bill to describe a body or company, etc. The Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has advised that this expression, which is used often in the Bill without being subject to a definition, should be defined. Therefore, this amendment proposes to define "entity" as "a person, body of persons, organisation or group".
