Mr. Paul Murphy

I beg to move amendment No. 62, in page 60, leave out lines 33 to 36.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this, it will be convenient to discuss Government amendments Nos. 63 to 65.

Mr. Murphy

The amendments are technical and are consequent on the dissolution of the Northern Ireland Disability Council. They make appropriate changes to the part of the schedule that relates to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which established that council. They also make good some omissions in the earlier draft of the Bill relating to the titles of the Northern Ireland Disability Council and the new Equality Commission for Northern Ireland. I have pleasure in asking the House to accept them.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 63, in page 60, line 37, after 'Schedule 8', insert— '(a)".

No. 64, in page 60, line 38, leave out 'the Northern Ireland Equality Commission' and insert 'the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland'.

No. 65, in page 60, line 38, at end insert— '(b) for paragraph 33(1) substitute— 33.—(1) In sections 50 to 52, for "the Council" substitute, in each place, the "Equality Commission for Northern Ireland". (1A) Section 50(1) and (8) shall have no effect."; and (c) for paragraph 52 substitute— 52. Schedule 5 shall have no effect.".'.—[Mr. Ingram.]
