I support this part of the Bill and I accept the logic for it. However, what is provided for in it will be available to a larger range of potential applicants than those whose requirements provoked the original proposals before us. Not all of the NGOs are on the current prescribed list of relevant organisations. I accept that the criteria under which other organisations can be included is open for discussion but there must be some way of balancing the need for broader public consultation without lengthening the process unreasonably.
