I move amendmentNo. 1:

In page 3, line 25, to delete "inserted" and substitute "as substituted".

This is a relatively straightforward technical amendment. Prior to the 1994 Act there was a section 60(2) but the word "insertion" into legislation implies that there was nothing there previously. Inserting means adding something new to the Bill. The word "substitute" would be more accurate in this situation because of the pre-existing section. It makes sense to change the word "inserted" in each of the places where it appears, to "as substituted".
