I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to enable the appointment by the Standards in Public Office Commission of an inquiry officer to carry out a preliminary Inquiry in cases where it is acting of its own initiative and has not received a complaint, for that purpose to amend the Standards in Public Office Act 2001, and provide for related matters.
