I move amendment No. 2:

In page 8, lines 27 to 31, to delete subsection (3).

I welcome the Minister to the House. These amendments seek to deal with the restrictions the Minister is putting on work permits. While sections 3 to 6, inclusive, cover the application for an employment permit by a prospective employer or a non-national, if an employer applies he or she must show the offer of employment with all the terms and conditions of employment under section 5(1)(a). If a non-national applies, he or she must merely show the offer of employment under section 6(f) but what should be contained in the offer of employment is not specifically stated. I am advised that this could be overcome by adopting the provisions of section 3 of the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994. Is section 8 included in this discussion?
