These effectively are drafting amendments. Amendment No. 61 is a technical amendment to clarify two references in subparagraphs in section 66H. Amendments Nos. 67 and 68 also are technical amendments to correct references in section 126H(1) of the 2001 Act dealing with the number of members of the national oversight and audit commission. Amendment No 90 rectifies an omission from the listing of reserved functions to be performed by local authorities by including the reserved power to fix the day or days for the first meetings of the municipal district members within the functional area of the local authority. This new reserved power is provided for in section 52 of the Bill, which amends section 10 of the Local Government Act 2001, dealing with meetings and procedures of local authorities.
