I move amendment No. 212:

In page 124, to delete lines 1 to 6.

The idea behind this amendment and amendment No. 215 is to make sure that the years of survey work, all of the community engagement and all of the investment of time and resources into MACs, are preserved when those projects are reapplied for or where people are looking at them again. These amendments are specifically about the MACs and making sure that we are keeping that information, that it is there to be used again rather than people starting from scratch again. Some of the Minister of State's amendments deal with this slightly differently and I ask him to give his perspective before I press my amendments.
