Under the criteria for intervention, head 5 of the Bill outlines the withholding of consent to an investigation by a landowner. That withholding is only deemed unreasonable if the owner was also the owner of the land when inappropriate burials took place or if they acquired the site on or after the date of the publication of the general scheme of the Bill. The Bill does not address the withholding of consent by landowners who acquired the land in the period succeeding the burials and preceding that publication. I ask the Minister to comment on that. What plans are there to rectify that issue?
