I move amendment No. 96:

In page 14, to delete line 17 and substitute the following:“(f) is, or is deemed to be, the subject of an order under section 160 of the Companies Act 1990 or a disqualification order within the meaning of Chapter 4 of Part 14 of the Companies Act 2014.”.

Amendment No. 96 to section 9 (13)(f) is a technical amendment relating to disqualification provisions for serving on the expert advisory council, to reflect the fact that the Companies Act 2014 has come into force since the publication of the Bill. To explain, the Companies Act 2014 by and large supersedes the Companies Act 1990, save for some savers in that latter Act. Accordingly, an amendment is required to reflect the fact that the Companies Act 2014 is now in effect. This technical amendment in no way alters the intent of this provision.
