That sentence, in plain words

Four words are taken out of an older law. A longer phrase is put in. It says the power is for one purpose only.

What this is about

The older rule let the Secretary change import quotas. The new words tie that power to one aim. What the older rule says in full is not recorded here.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
