Amendments made: 1, page 5, line 4, after “miniature” insert

See the explanatory statement for Amendment 2.
Amendment 2, page 5, line 5, at end insert—
“( ) For the purposes of subsection (1) (a) the ‘surface area’ of a portrait miniature does not include any part consisting of or covered by a frame.”—(David Rutley.)
Amendment 1 and this amendment impose a size restriction on the items that can qualify for exemption as portrait miniatures, so that for example anything larger than 20 cm by 16 cm will not qualify. The size restriction applies to the visible surface area of the picture itself.
