Had it not been rejected this amendment would have affected Clause 4[2] of the Bill and would have removed the following subclause from the clause titled Holiday for new businesses which set out

  • (b) the principal place at which the new business is carried on when it is started is not in any of the excluded regions, and

Subclause (5) stated:
