I move amendment No. 21:

In page 16, line 37, to delete “8 working” and substitute “28 working”.

This is just a simple amendment. It seems to us that the question of eight days for an emergency barring order is not enough. I suggest that this be extended from eight working days to 28 working days. In violent situations, we need to give a sufficient amount of time for the applicant to get resources together and determine where to go from there. Eight days does not seem sufficient to allow the applicant to consider the situation appropriately.
