I move amendment No. 83:

In page 28, line 31, to delete "six years" and substitute "one year".

This amendment changes the review period for the national marine planning framework to within a year instead of the six years proposed in the Bill. The reason is that significant changes such as this need to be reviewed early so that any teething issues can be addressed. Six years is a long period to review this. We must ensure that the national marine planning framework is robust and that this review is a fundamental input to ensuring that it is as robust as possible and informs the framework of this Bill. That is what amendment No. 83 is about.
