I move amendment No. 13:



In page 12, line 7, after "address" to insert "(other than an address listed for a natural parent in the relevant entry in the register of births)".
The purpose of these amendments is to bring clarity to the Bill. Amendment No. 15 seeks to ensure access to information on a birth certificate. The amendments are technical in nature but would, we believe, add clarity to the Bill. I understand the Minister is not opposing these amendments. Perhaps he might indicate at some stage if he proposes to engage further with us between now and Report Stage. I understand it is proposed to take Report Stage today if the Bill progresses unopposed. It would be useful for us to know whether there will be further engagement with us on the Bill.
