I move amendment No. 30:

In page 21, line 14, after “executive” to insert “or acting chief executive”.

This is small one relating to subsection (1) in which it is stated, "There shall be a chief executive of a transferred company." Is it helpful to the Minister to offer the option of an acting chief executive rather than have to promote somebody who can fulfil the requirement and engage in a lot of public expenditure? Is it understood that if there is not a chief executive, there would be an acting one? I offer it in case it is of use to the Minister and helps in the operation of the Act. It is onerous to have a chief executive always present when vacancies may occur for all sorts of reasons.
