At the absence of any discussion, comments or objections. I’m assuming that everyone is all good with this. As the three-day period for comments has expired. I will be implementing this discretionary edit.
Discretionary Edits implemented and adopted. This thread no longer needs to be open, any further enquiries should be done via the Office of Assembly Affairs .
