This amendment is to cover the authority. In all other sections we have "him" or "her". We are putting in "it" to cover the authority in the section to do with the indemnity. It does not alter the substance of the section or of any other section of the Bill. It more faithfully reflects the wording in the corresponding provision contained in the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997.
