I move amendment No. 63:
In page 42, before section 40, to insert the following new section:
40.—(1) Sections 36 (1) and (2) and section 39 do not apply to arrangements of the kind mentioned in section 32 (2) entered into by a company or by a subsidiary of the company for a person who at any time during the relevant period was a director of the company or of its holding company or was connected with such a director, if the aggregate of the values of each arrangement so made for that director or any person connected with him, less the amount (if any) by which the liabilities of the person for whom the arrangement was made has been reduced, did not at any time during the relevant period exceed �1,000.
(2) Subsection (1) (c) and (2) (c) of section 36 do not apply, in relation to any accounts prepared by a company in respect of any relevant period, to any transaction or arrangement with a company or any of its subsidiaries in which a director of the company or of its holding company had, directly or indirectly, a material interest if—
(a) the value of each transaction or arrangement within subsection (1) (c) or (2) (c), as the case may be, in which that director had, directly or indirectly, a material interest and which was made after the commencement of that relevant period with the company or any of its subsidiaries; and
(b) the value of each such transaction or arrangement which was made before the commencement of that period less the amount (if any) by which the liabilities of the person for whom the transaction or arrangement was made have been reduced;
did not at any time during the relevant period exceed in the aggregate �1,000 or, if more, did not exceed �5,000 or one per cent of the value of the net assets of the company preparing the accounts in question as at the end of the relevant period for those accounts, whichever is the less and for this purpose, ‘net assets' has the same meaning as in section 28 (9).".
Amendment amended, by leave, by the deletion of "�1,000" in the last line of subsection (1) and the insertion of "�2,500".
