I move amendment No. 12:

In page 15, lines 17 and 18, to delete all words from and including "the said section 2(2)" in line 17 down to and including "1997):" in line 18 and substitute "section 2(2) of the Act of 1977, as inserted by the said section 23:".

These are drafting amendments. Amendment No. 12 deals with the point that the wording of the section does not make sense. For example, the reference in line 17 to "the said section 2(2)" is inappropriate because that subsection has not previously been mentioned. The reference to "the Act of 1997" in the Bill as drafted should be to the Act of 1977.

Amendment No. 13 is similar and refers to the same issue.
