I move amendment No. 6:

In page 7, line 46, to delete "sub sea" and substitute "sub-sea".

The Minister has commented on this amendment. It is a drafting amendment. There is no such word as "sub". It is a prefix and therefore should be followed by a hyphen. I discovered this when reading through the Bill between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. the other night. If this amendment were to be accepted, further amendments would be required to other references in the Bill.
