I move amendment No. 41:

In page 34, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: “Review of Scheme following ruling of international human rights bodies

49. (1) Should any opinion, decision or recommendation be made by an international human rights treaty body relating to remedies for mixed-race persons who resided in relevant institutions, the Minister shall cause a review of the operation of the Scheme to be commenced as soon as is practicable but not later than 6 months after the date of the determination.

(2) A review under this section shall consider how the Scheme may be amended or expanded to achieve compliance with any determination by an international human rights treaty body relating to remedies for mixed-race persons who resided in a relevant institution, or any other institution in which children were placed, either directly or from a relevant institution, and in respect of which a public body had a regulatory or inspection function.”.
