I table a supplementary explanatory memorandum relating to the government's amendments to be moved to this bill.

By leave—I move government amendments (1) and (2) on sheet GB124 together:

(1) Clause 2, page 2 (table item 4), omit the table item, substitute:

(2) Schedule 2, heading, page 21 (lines 1 and 2), omit "commencing 1January 2016", substitute "relating to Board".

This is procedural in nature, as the bill was due to be debated towards the end of last year but that did not proceed. This amendment changes the commencement date for the amendments to immediately after the day after this act receives royal assent, which will align with the other amendments in schedule 1, instead of commencing 1 January 2016.
