I will read the technical text because the question does not make sense to me.

Amendment No. 50 proposes to limit considerations to the policies set out in the marine planning policy statement, rather than the broader scope of the initiated text. As provided for in amendment No. 46, public bodies will already be obliged to have regard to the MPPS in the performance of their functions. The proposal is both redundant and inappropriately limiting.
