I beg to move amendment No. 145, in page 28, line 18, leave out ‘wishes’ and insert ‘proposes’.

With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendment No. 147.

These are simply drafting amendments that will improve the clarity of the Bill by changing the word “wishes” to “proposes” because “proposes” is a more appropriate legal word—a reference to people proposing to provide child care.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 56, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clause 57 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
