I am just looking at item 47, which this seeks to amend. Can you explain the concerns to which you have alluded about the provision as previously drafted? I am not clear what you are saying it would not enable, such that this amendment is required. Why doesn’t the original item 47, on page 17 of the bill, deal with the issue that you now seek to cover in the amendment? Can you indicate what the rationale is for this?
