Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 27:

In page 40, subsection (6), line 36, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".

This amendment is self-explanatory and one that appears in various Bills. The difference between "may" and "shall" is very weak. There are different implications for both words. Given that the Bill is weak, the amendment would give the Minister discretion as to whether to allow correction of errors. There is a belief in some quarters that there must be a provision for correction of errors. It is a semi-technical amendment.
