The answer I got there was a complete change to that which I got earlier, when it was said the definition did include more. The issue I was raising related to the fact the definition of substitute consent has been completely insufficient, so I would have thought the Bill was a chance to update that and to cover other breaches of EU law and directives. Clearly, however, from what has been said, that is not being done. I am just looking for absolute clarity, because the Minister of State had said other assessments would be covered but then stated it would be only EIAs and appropriate assessments.
