I move amendment No. 26:

In page 11, line 22, after "expenses" to insert the following:", including expenses for such training as might be appropriate to the functions of the Commission,".

Personally I would have seen these amendments as being somewhat connected in a potentially complementary way.Amendment No. 26 seeks to ensure that, inasmuch as expenses are being provided for, there are mechanisms to provide for expenses to allow for "such training as might be appropriate to the functions of the Commission" for the lay members of the commission. As was mentioned previously, there will be a number of lay members of the commission.
