by leave—I move government amendments (25) to (28) on sheet BE242 together:
(25) Clause 198, page 256 (line 3), before “A person”, insert “(1)”.
(26) Clause 198, page 256 (after line 4), at the end of the clause add:
(2) A person is not entitled to make an application before 1 July 2010.
(27) Clause 205, page 262 (line 4), before “A person”, insert “(1)”.
(28) Clause 205, page 262 (after line 5), at the end of the clause, add:
(2) A person is not entitled to make an application before 1 July 2010.
These are technical amendments providing that reforestation applications may not be made until 1 July 2010. These are required due to the delays in the passage of the bill, and therefore regulations on this issue are unlikely to be made until mid-May 2010.
