I beg to move amendment No. 203, in clause 34, page 29, line 23, at end insert—

'(c) a misidentification has occurred.'.

The amendment is not necessary. The reference to a ''misidentification'' involves the same thing as subsection 1(a). I have a lot to say about the clause generally and I will talk to the Minister about that during the next Division. On that basis, with my apologies, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Clause 34, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
