I move amendment No. 122:

In page 29, lines 38 and 39, to delete all words from and including “comply” in line 38 down to and including line 39 and substitute “carry out the remedial action set out in the direction.”.

Amendment No. 122 is a proofing amendment to section 68 to clarify that the role of the independent person appointed by the patron is to carry out the remedial action set out by the patron's direction to the board rather than comply with that direction. This is necessary as it is technically not correct to require the independent person to comply with the direction that was not issued to him or her in the first place.

Amendment No. 123 is also a proofing amendment in section 68 to also clarify that it is the role of the independent person appointed by the patron to carry out the remedial action set out in the direction rather than comply with that direction. It is necessary as it is technically not correct to require an independent person to comply with that direction that was not issued to him or her in the first place.

Amendment Nos. 135 and 136 are similar to amendments Nos. 122 and 123 but instead amend section 70 to again clarify the role of the independent person with regard to him or her carrying out the remedial action.
