I move amendment No. 71:

In page 31, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following subsection:

"(5) The Appeals Panel, upon validation of the refusal of the Authority under subsection (1)(b), will have to make a statement of evidence that the decision was compliant with section 14 of the Act of 1997.".

This amendment refers to a requirement to give reasons for a decision if the appeal panel validates the refusal of the authority under subsection (1)(b); it will have to make a statement of evidence that the decision was compliant with section 14 of the Universities Act 1997.
