I move amendment No. 8:

In page 8, line 33, to delete "5" and substitute "25".

My party has brought forward this amendment in an attempt to change the period of time allowed for the submission of a contact address from five working days to 25. It is likely that immigrants would be unable to secure such an address within five days despite administrative procedures aimed at ensuring they do. This amendment represents a compromise with the Minister's position and I ask that he accept it.
