I beg to move amendment No. 409, in

clause 25, page 10, line 21, leave out subsection (2).

Again, this is very much a probing amendment to elicit more information. Subsection (2) states:

''Before the powers conferred by this section are exercised, the regulator must consult prescribed persons about prescribed matters.''

It then explains that

'''Prescribed' means prescribed by an order.''

That order will presumably be issued by the regulator and I should be grateful if the Minister would give the Committee a little more background information so that it has a greater understanding of exactly which prescribed persons will be consulted about what sort of prescribed matters.
