11. 9. Debate: Stage 3 of the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Bill – in the Senedd at 5:01 pm on 28 March 2017.
The next group is group 10, which contains technical amendments relating to definitions. The lead amendment in this group is amendment 25. I call on the Cabinet Secretary to move and speak to the lead amendment and the other amendments in the group. Mark Drakeford.
Llywydd, as you said, these are technical amendments that all seek to improve various definitions provided in the Bill. Amendment 4 inserts the definition of ‘registrar’ into section 65 of the Bill, for registration of land transactions. Amendment 5 is linked to amendment 4, in that it removes an unused definition of ‘registrar’ in the same section, for the purposes of improving clarity. Amendments 25 and 26 insert the words ‘county’ and ‘county borough council’ respectively for clarity. Amendment 27 updates the section number provided in the Highways Act 1980 to ensure that the correct cross-reference is used when seeking the meaning for ‘highway’. I ask Members to support these amendments—they improve the drafting of the Bill.
There are no speakers in this group. Therefore, the question is that amendment 25 be agreed. Does any Member object? Amendment 25 is agreed.
Cabinet Secretary—amendment 26.
