Question so resolved in the affirmative.

New clause agreed to.

Clause 39 agreed to.

Clause 40 (Objections to selection)

MR STEFANIAK (9.00): I move:

Page 20, line 27, omit "25%", substitute "50%".

I just reiterate what I said earlier on behalf of the committee in relation to that.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (9.01): I seek leave to move the following three amendments together.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: I move:

Line 33, omit "7", substitute "14";

Line 38, omit "7", substitute "14"; and

Line 39, omit "7", substitute "14".

Again, this relates to a notice of objection being lodged with the registrar. I would submit that seven days is a very short and unreasonable time; 14 days is more reasonable. The general appeal period for any court of law is 21 days, to give one example, and I would urge the Assembly to allow a 14-day period here as it is more reasonable than seven days. I do not think that there is anything in other types of legislation that forces people to do anything within seven days, as it is a quite unrealistic period.
