One aspect of this may be worthy of consideration. Let us consider the expression: "the Minister shall consult with such persons as the Minister considers appropriate, which may include". The idea is to proscribe a process of consultation without necessarily ring-fencing the Minister in respect of who that might be. I believe it is worthy of consideration that the Minister would uphold a greater threshold of consultation under the section in question. Would that be more appropriate?
