I move amendment No. 5:

In page 9, to delete lines 21 and 22 and substitute the following:“an article of precious metal where that hallmark, stamp or other mark is a forged hallmark and he or she knows or believes such hallmark, stamp or other mark to be a forged hallmark.”.

Amendments Nos. 5 to 7, inclusive, are consequential and technical amendments to the Bill. They provide for amendments to section 12 to update the new forgery offence provisions to take account of forgery by knowingly applying a forged hallmark to an article of precious metal and the offence of knowing that hallmark stamp or other mark be a forgery. Amendment No. 7 inserts new text into the Bill to take account of offences by a body corporate as there is no such standard provision in the Hallmarking Act 1981.
