I move amendment No. 10:

In page 13, to delete lines 26 and 27.

This concerns the area where the Minister sets down the fees that can be charged by licensed instructors. The way it is drafted is anti-competitive. There will be different types of instructors and different levels of instruction. Some instructors will work nationally and some will be confined to certain areas. It is only right to allow competition so that people can set their own fees for providing instruction. Individuals may feel they can provide a cheaper service than other instructors. Therefore, I ask the Minister of State to delete lines 26 and 27.
