I move amendment No. 105:

In page 36, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:“(4) Lay members of the Commission shall not take part in the modification referred to in subsection (1)(b) insofar as it concerns—

(a) a statement made under section 53(1)(b),

(b) part of a statement made under section 53(1)(a) which concerns—

(i) knowledge of the law,

(ii) skills and competence in the interpretation and application of the law, or

(iii) ability to exercise functions as holders of judicial office.”.

Amendment No. 104 is consequential to amendment No. 105. We withdraw this amendment and reserve the right to reintroduce it on Report Stage.
