by leave—I move government amendments (15), (16) and (18) to (21) on sheet BE242 together:

(15)  Clause 97, page 139 (line 2), omit “14 days”, substitute “90 days”.

(16)  Clause 97, page 139 (line 14), omit “14-day”, substitute “90-day”.

(18)  Clause 116C, page 157 (line 11), omit “14 days”, substitute “90 days”.

(19)  Clause 116C, page 157 (line 23), omit “14-day”, substitute “90-day”.

(20)  Clause 122B, page 163 (line 22), omit “14 days”, substitute “90 days”.

(21)  Clause 122B, page 164 (line 4), omit “14-day”, substitute “90-day”.

These are quite simple technical amendments, simply to extend the time frame for transmission of units upon the death of an account holder from 14 days to 90 days.
