Is it then suggested that all 475,000 septic tanks in the country are going to be inspected? The Minister said the information would be used post-inspection to help improve the flow of information back to the local authorities. I do not want to labour the point, but when one sees an aspect of proposed legislation that does not make sense, it is only human nature to question it. I am happy to be reassured by the Minister on this; I am not trying to be awkward. However, I wonder what is the point of it if the concept, as stated, is the creation and then maintenance of a register of septic tanks.
