This ministerial amendment is technical and required to deal with an error that occurred in the transposition of the Bill as amended on Committee Stage in this House. Section 252 lists sections of the Bill under which orders or regulations may be made in the post-Committee Stage draft of the Bill. Paragraph (j) in subsection (3) referred to section 3 of the Bill. This is incorrect as there is no power to make orders or regulations in that section. The correct cross-reference is to section 264(3) and the amendment corrects the error.
