Amendments 2 and 3 clarify that a regulation can be made to prescribe particular types of hire-purchase agreements, operating leases and credit card facilities as forms of financial accommodation for the definition of “borrow”.

In such cases, the Bill provides flexibility for these matters to be dealt with by regulation.’.
