I move amendment No. 91:

In page 50, subsection (2), line 36 after "person" to insert ", for a fixed charge".

We are all familiar with the spiralling costs of the large and small contracts into which the Government has entered, at the expense of the taxpayer. Perhaps fewer contracts will be entered into now that there have been such changes in local authority personnel. We will scrutinise such contracts in greater detail.
