I move amendment No. 2:

In page 7, line 36 after "24(2)," to insert "any provision of".

This is a technical amendment which relates to section 1(2) of the Bill. It is designed to reflect the fact that all of Part 2 might not necessarily be brought into operation on the same day and a different provision could be brought into operation on another day. It is quite clearly stated in Part 1, section 1(2) that "This Act shall come into operation on such day or days as the Minister may appoint by order or orders". The Minister is aware that we often bring forward technical amendments which are designed to be helpful and I hope that he sees them in that light.

Amendment No. 3 is quite clear; it seeks to delete the phrase "its commencement" and substitute "the commencement of that provision".
