Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 37:

In page 79, line 25, after "person" to insert "or two or more registered persons applying jointly".

Section 110 deals with the certificate of suitability. This amendment would insert, in subsection (1), the words "or two or more registered persons applying jointly" after the word "person". It aims to facilitate the situation whereby one or more persons could be setting up practice together and could apply jointly. Again, it takes this aspect to its logical conclusion and I appeal to the Minister to accept the amendment.
