I move amendment No. 2;

In page 20, subsection (1)(c), line 18, after "by" where it secondly occurs to insert "registered".

When notices are posted, they should be registered. It is usually required that a notice of this importance should be served by registered post. For example, important local authority documents relating to planning permission and so on are registered so that people cannot say they did not receive them.

This is an important document and this simple amendment would be in the interests of all parties. I would appreciate it if the Minister of State took the amendment on board because it is important that the person for whom the document is intended receives it. The only way to ensure that is to use registered post, given the movement of people nowadays.
