MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):

Page 31, line 11, Schedule, omit the amendment relating to section 39, substitute the following amendment:

"New section 39 -

After section 38, insert the following section:

Payment of remuneration and allowances

`39. The amount which a member of the Professional Conduct Board is entitled to be paid by way of remuneration and allowances shall be paid by the Law Society out of moneys standing to the credit of a Statutory Interest Account.'.".

Page 31, line 25, Schedule, after the amendment relating to paragraph 41(2)(c), insert the following amendment:

"Subsection 63(2) -

(a) Omit `barrister and solicitor' (first occurring), substitute `legal practitioner'.

(b) Omit `and solicitor' (last occurring).".

Page 33, line 10, Schedule, before the amendment relating to paragraphs 192(1)(a) and (b), insert the following amendment:

"Subsection 191M(5) -

Omit `Barristers and Solicitors kept under section 16', substitute `Legal Practitioners'.".

Page 35, line 14, Schedule, omit "and 40(2)(a), subsection 63(2), paragraph", substitute ", 40(2)(a) and".

Page 35, line 19, Schedule, omit "Section 3 (definitions of `Admission Board' and `Roll of Barristers and Solicitors'), subsections", substitute "Subsections".

Page 35, line 23, Schedule, omit ", paragraph 191C(a) and subsection 191M(5)", substitute "and paragraph 191C(a)".

Mr Speaker, these amendments are, in a sense, consequential on the Remuneration Tribunal (Consequential Amendments) Act, which came into force on 23 September, because it repealed section 39 of the Legal Practitioners Act 1970. This supplementary amendment to the Bill addresses two matters as a consequence. First, the Schedule to the Legal Practitioners (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) amends section 39 of the Legal Practitioners Act. Due to the repeal of section 39 of that Act by the Remuneration Tribunal (Consequential Amendments) Act, this amendment will delete the amendment of section 39 in the Bill.
