I do not know if my question is ridiculous, but I will pose it anyway. I am thinking of the county councillor, for example, who may be a solicitor, a commissioner for oaths or an auctioneer. Where a local development plan is being made, and if that person has a declarable interest in selling or ownership of that land, is there anything in this new section that strengthens the declaration or the necessity to declare an interest? Is it as is? I am trying to understand the ad hocdeclaration which the Minister has described. I am not fully au faitwith it yet. I think it is pertinent to section 7. If it is not, the Minister can inform me.
