I move amendment No. 83:

In page 85, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following:“(f) by inserting after subsection (7) the following subsection:

“(8) In making an order the Authority must act in the best interest of the child (having a mother and a father) and will give preference, in the first instance to married male-female couples, subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of section 34.”.”.
