I move amendment No. 22:

In page 25, lines 35 and 36, to delete “in such manner as it considers appropriate” and substitute “following public advertisement”.

The amendment deals with consultation. The Bill specifies "in such manner as it considers appropriate". There are two parties to a consultation, the other party being the public. This is why my amendment provides that it should be by public advertisement. We have concerns about the insider-outsider model. What the insiders say to each other is one thing. The purpose of the amendment is to involve the wider public.

Amendment No. 23 is on the same lines, and I will deal with amendment No. 24 later, if I may.
