§ Mr. MoyleI beg to move amendment No. 15, in page 5, line 26, leave out 'carrying out preliminary' and insert 'carry out'.
The purpose of the amendment is clarification. It deals with the disciplinary proceedings of all the joint boards and the Central Council. In the original Bill we used words to the effect that preliminary investigation would be at the national board level. That implied that there would be further investigation at Central Council level. We did not intend that there should be a second investigation at Central Council level. We intended that all investigations of the facts should be at national board level and that the Central Council should confine itself to determining whether there had been misconduct on the facts ascertained by the board. As the reference to preliminary investigation did not exactly describe that situation, we are amending it to remove the word "preliminary" from the Bill.
§ Amendment agreed to.
470§ Mr. MoyleI beg to move amendment No. 16, in page 5, line 31, at end insert:
'and shall have proper regard for the interests of all groups within the professions, including those with minority representation'.The House accepted the principle in this amendment when it accepted amendment No. 5.
§ Amendment agreed to.
