I move amendment No. 11:

In page 4, line 38, to delete “28 days” and substitute “60 days”.

Section 3 proposes to insert a new subsection (4)(a) in section 14A of the Act. The new subsection states: "Where a person is dissatisfied by a decision made by the Minister under an enactment or statutory instrument specified in Schedule (2) (referred to in this section and sections 14B and 14D as a 'decision') he or she may, within a period of 28 days beginning on the date of the decision, appeal to the Forestry Appeals Committee against the decision." I do not want to keep ping-ponging across the floor of the House but rather get straight to the point. I would like to hear the Minister of State's response to the amendment following which I might speak again.
