I apologise as I did not explain myself properly when moving amendments No. 53. The aim is to delete "each of" in line 12. We have been advised about the clumsiness of language in the Bill. We refer to "each of" in line 12 and then we use "either" in a subsequent part of the section. There is no point in having both "each of" and "either". It is something lawyers would love to debate, that "the permission relates to be completed provided that, each of the following requirements is complied with. We must take out "each of" or "either". We are open on the issue. It is an attempt to clarify the language in that part of the Bill.

Amendment No. 55 is similar to an earlier amendment whereby we tried to define a time limit for the recording of applications on the relevant entry in the register. We suggest the insertion of "within one week of such application or decision" in order not to leave the matter open-ended. We propose one week, although we accept the Minister of State might have a better idea. It is a technical amendment to try to bring clarity to the Bill. I hope the Minister of State will accept the amendments or consider tabling a Government amendment on Report Stage to address those issues.
