I move amendment No. 15:

In page 23, lines 36 and 37, to delete "neither that person nor any other relevant person" and substitute "that person".

There is nothing to explain who the relevant person in question might be. The Bill should be clearer about this. It states the person is fit and proper if "neither that person nor any other relevant person has been convicted of an offence under this Act or the Act of 1996 prescribed for the purposes of this subsection". I would like an explanation of the phrase "any other relevant person". It is unnecessary to include it in the Bill. Can one person be held accountable for the actions of another?
