Putting that aside, I draw the attention of the House to the fact that, in amendment No. 145, we have substituted "where the legal practitioner is a barrister, that the Authority, in accordance with Part 9, strike the name of the person off the roll"? Amendment No. 158, however, states: "Where, on or after the date on which this subsection comes into operation, the Benchers of the Honourable Society of King’s Inns disbar a person [...]". In one amendment, we are saying the authority disbars barristers and in another we are giving free rein to the Honourable Society of King's Inns to do the disbarring. Perhaps the Minister could explain this or elucidate it in some way for me.
