New Clause -

Page 4, line 1, after clause 13 add the following clause:

"14. Insertion

After section 48 of the Principal Act the

following section is inserted:

'49. Transitional provision - certain determinations may be retrospective

'(1) Despite section 7 of the Subordinate Laws Act 1989, if a determination of a fee under section 36 -

(a) is made before 31 July 1999; and

(b) is expressed to have effect from a date not earlier than 1 July 1999;

the determination is taken to have effect from that date.

'(2) This section ceases to operate on 31 July 1999.'.".

Are we happy to let these through?

Mr Quinlan: We have checked them. They are only tiny, are they not?

MS CARNELL: Yes. There will be a whole series of these amendments in Bills. It is to do with the fact that we were not sitting last week. The amendments allow the Minister to retrospectively determine fees under section 36 of the principal Act as at 1 July 1999.
