I move amendment No. 15:

In page 28, line 36, after "other" to insert "connected".

These amendments are proposed in an effort to bring clarity to the language used in the Bill. Section 35(1)(b) of the principal Act, as amended by section 20(a) of the Bill, makes reference to "any other person". For the purposes of clarity, this should read "any other connected person or body corporate". Similar language is used in other legislation and provides a clear definition of the persons covered by the Bill. It is a technical amendment, on which we hope the Minister of State will take on board our genuine view.
