I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, subsection (1), lines 27 and 28, to delete "subsection (17) of section 8 , "and substitute "a provision referred to in section 6(1),".

This amendment is necessary, as a number of offences are specified in section 6(1) as being summary offences only. Why should all of these offences, instead of the single offence of failing to display a certificate, not be capable of being dealt with by an on-the-spot fine? We ask the Minister of State to consider the matter.
