No.1 Clause 62, page 20, line 25 [Clause 62, substitution of sections 123 and 124]—Delete 'section 123—delete the section' and substitute: 'Sections 123 and 124—delete the sections'

No. 2 Schedule 1, page 27—Delete 'Section 19(5)(c)' and substitute: 'Section 19(5)(b)'

Consideration in committee.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I move:

That the Legislative Council's amendments be agreed to.

I understand that clause 62 of the bill intends to delete sections 123 and 124 of the Road Traffic Act 1961 and substitute new sections; however, the clause only deletes section 123 and not section 124. Sir, I apologise to the house for this oversight, and, accordingly, I have thus moved that we accept amendments nos 1 and 2 from the upper house.

Motion carried.
