I move amendment No. 49:

In page 67, to delete lines 1 and 2 and substitute the following: “it for the period to which an annual service plan relates, so inform the Board, the Authority and the Minister.”.

The amendment proposes to delete lines 1 and 2 and substitute the wording "it for the period to which an annual service plan relates, so inform the Board, the Authority and the Minister.” Currently, where the Commissioner exceeds his resources for the year, he is only obliged to tell the Minister and the board. The amendment adds the obligation that he or she also tell the authority, thereby adding to the authority's powers.
