I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, line 25, after "officers" to insert "if required to do so by such directions (if any)".

The reason we propose the insertion of the words "if required to do so by such directions (if any)" is that we believe the drafting of this section is defective and we intend to achieve clarity with our amendment. It is intended to make clear that total disembarkation should be mandatory only if required. The Minister said this was his intention on Committee Stage but we do not believe the section makes that clear.
