These are drafting changes to the Long Title of the Bill. The parliamentary counsel has indicated a preference for the revised version of the Long Title in amendments Nos. 15 and 16, which replace the terms "PROVIDING" and "GRANTING" with "TO PROVIDE" and "GRANT". This is line with consistency in drafting. I will also be introducing another amendment to the Long Title on Report Stage which is a drafting amendment for clarity and consistency with the first section of the Long Title. That amendment will be circulated shortly.

Amendment agreed to.

Government amendment No. 16:

In page 3, line 9, to delete "GRANTING" and substitute "GRANT".

Amendment agreed to.

Title, as amended, agreed to.
