by leave—I move items (88) and (89) on sheet QH401:

(88)  Schedule 11, page 125 (after line 21), after item 13, insert:

13A  Paragraph 15(d)

After “spouse” (wherever occurring), insert “, de facto partner”.

(89)  Schedule 11, Part 3, page 125 (after line 35), at the end of the Part, add:

14A  Paragraph 38(d)

After “spouse” (wherever occurring), insert “, de facto partner”.

These are amendments to the Civil Aviation (Carriers’ Liability) Act which correct existing references to ‘spouse’ to read ‘spouse or de facto partner’, consistent with the broad schemata in the bill.
