I move Democrat amendment (17) on sheet 5192:

(17)  Schedule 1, page 14 (after line 27), after item 28, insert:

28A  After section 203C

Insert:

203CAA  Link between recognition and funding

                 It is a general principal of this Act that:

             (a)    where recognition has been given to an eligible body in accordance with Division 2, the Secretary of the Department is required to provide funds to the recognised eligible body; and

             (b)    funding will be provided for the duration of the period of recognition; and

             (c)    funding periods and recognition periods will be of the same duration.

I also have a number of other amendments which are opposing a range of items in schedule 1, which you can read out a bit later.
