Amendment No. 21 deals with the proposals set out in my amendment. I could barely believe the provisions set out in the original Bill whereby a register could be published at the times and in the manner a registration board considered appropriate. The most important point with a professional register is to ensure that those who should be off it are taken off it while those who should be on it are included. Members of the public can then find out who is on the register. The only appropriate approach is to publish the register every 12 months at the latest.
