I move amendment No. 1:

In page 7, to delete line 31, and in page 8, to delete line 1.

These provisions, which substantially affect other Acts, are not normally included in the general definition or interpretation of the Act. In other words, they do not normally find restriction to another Act or a definition or interpretation in the section.

An exception to this would be providing a different definition from one of general application in another Act, that is, providing a different meaning to a word or phrase that provided for this in the interpretation, giving a different meaning to land rather than the interpretation of the Act. This is not the case, however. I await the Minister of State's response on these very technical amendments.
