I am happy to take on board any views that the House has in this regard. I believe the phrase "developing land" is sufficiently specific. If we try to get too granular in terms of what a particular word might mean, we might end up excluding forms of activity that it is the intention of the House to capture. I earlier mentioned the concept of a code of conduct. We must allow a little latitude to the Standards in Public Office Commission to put together a code of conduct which will fulfil the intention of the Bill. I am happy to take on board the views of Members.
