I move amendment No. 3:

In page 3, lines 16 and 17, to delete "Amendment of section 57BK of PART VIIB of the Principal Act (as inserted by section 16 of the Act of 2004.), in subsection (4)" and substitute "Subsection (4)".

These are technical drafting amendments to section 2 of the Bill to remove some superfluous words at the start of the section, and also quotation marks, which on the advice of the Parliamentary Counsel will not affect the meaning of the section. I agree with the section as it replicates section 12(11) of the Government's Bill which allows the Ombudsman to act in an informal manner without undue regard to legal form.
