Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.

With this it will be convenient to discuss that schedule 4 be the Fourth schedule to the Bill.

Clause 116 introduces schedule 4, which makes technical changes to existing legislation to give effect to the new sitting in retirement policy. In some circumstances, schedule 4 also repeals existing legislation.

Clause 116 also creates a new regulation, making power exercisable by the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland, Welsh Ministers or the Lord Chancellor, as is appropriate by context. This power allows additional consequential amendments to be made in connection with part 3 of the Bill, to ensure the new sitting in retirement policies operate as intended.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 116 accordingly ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Schedule 4 agreed to.
