These amendments are completely acceptable, as they are technical, but I wish to comment on the wording of three of them. Amendment No. 4 states:

In page 15, line 13, "paragraphs (i) and (ii)" deleted and "paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii)" substituted.

Would it not have been much neater to have added in paragraph (iii)? Why do we have to delete the whole bloody thing and then put in "paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii)"? It is the same with amendments Nos. 10 and 11. Amendment No. 10 states:

In page 17, line 20, "paragraphs (a) and (b)" deleted and "paragraphs (a), (b) and (c)" substituted.

It would have been much easier to simply add paragraph (c).
