I beg to move amendment No. 69, in clause 46, page 38, line 2, at end insert ‘unless—
(a) the proceedings relate to any benefit or circumstances or any description of benefit or circumstances which the Secretary of State prescribes for the purposes of this paragraph, or
(b) the Secretary of State has directed that the authority must not bring the proceedings,
and a direction under paragraph (b) may relate to a particular authority or description of authority or to particular proceedings or any description of proceedings.’.
