I will speak to amendments No. 19, 20, 88 to 91, inclusive, 95, and 138 to 143, inclusive. These are minor technical and drafting amendments. Amendments No. 88 to 91, inclusive, and 95 to existing sections 65 and 66 are of a technical drafting nature and there is no change to the substantive provisions therein. The collective citation of the Affordable Housing Acts has been relocated to section 1 of the Bill.

Amendments No. 19 and 20 to sections 23 and 25 are for the purpose of ensuring consistency of language across various sections. Likewise, amendments Nos. 138 to 143, inclusive, to the chapeaus to the modifications of sections of the Local Government Act 2001 set out in Schedule 3 are similar and are for the purpose of ensuring consistency of language throughout that schedule.
