by leave—I move Democrat amendments (3) and (4) on sheet 5015 revised together:

(3)    Schedule 2, item 4, page 6 (line 21), after “on”, insert “a place”.

(4)    Schedule 2, item 4, page 6 (lines 22 to 32), omit paragraphs (1B)(a) and (b) and all the words to the end of the subsection.

I briefly motivate those amendments as follows. Amendment (3) is in essence an attempt to remove confusion and to ensure clarity. A ‘place’ is already defined in section 77F of the Customs Act and is described as an area or part of a building. This amendment, as you can see, simply says that in the particular section after ‘on’ insert ‘a place’. It produces greater clarity.
