To add to that, we have been given different rationales for the Bill, but one of the overall ones is the provision of a consolidated Bill that has clarity and is user-friendly such that practitioners or people engaged in the planning process can pick it up and find the areas they are looking for through the different sections at the front. To be fair, while it is a long Bill it does that, so it is user-friendly in that sense. Having a table would provide clarity. Trying to go through the Bill to find all these individual references is clearly not accessible, easy, simple or clear for people. Having the clarity of a table would compliment the individual mentions elsewhere in the Bill. It would make absolute sense to do as was done in the 2000 Act, so I cannot see why that approach is being taken.
