Mr Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport and Tourism), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
I beg to move amendment No. 47, in
schedule 1, page 24, line 36, leave out 'qualified accountant' and insert
'person who is eligible for appointment as a company auditor (in accordance with section 25 of the Companies Act 1989 (c.40))'.
The amendment makes it clear that the Gaming Board may appoint an individual or a firm of accountants to fulfil the role of the supervisor's accountant.
Amendment agreed to.
