I move amendment No. 3:

In page 7, paragraph (c), line 10, after "requester" to insert "made within the previous 12 months".

This is a minor amendment that seeks to ensure a person cannot be refused an application on the grounds that he or she previously failed to pay a fee. I concede that it is reasonable to take into account the fact that a person did not pay a previous fee, but there should be a cut-off point.
