Now, moving to Clause 12, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 12 of the Bill be amended by─ (a) renumbering the existing provision as subclause (1); (b) inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after the renumbered sub-clause (2) ─ “(2) The members of the Board shall be appointed at different times so that their terms of office ... view
