Each of the amendments is related and to change one means to change them all. The purpose of the amendments is to say that in every section where raised bog is mentioned in the Bill that one would say, "and other" to allow for the inclusion of other habitats. One has to do it right throughout the Bill in order to be consistent. The amendments are all basically the same and the effect is composite in that anything one can do for a raised bog, one could do for any other NHA by the exact same process.
