Amendment No. 279 seeks to impose a condition to require the MAC holder to apply for development permissions without a specified period. That is already included in paragraph 5 of Schedule 6, Part 1. I wonder how the exploration of that works within a specific period in a way that would deter seabed hoarding. The Minister of State has talked about this but perhaps he would like to make a specific comment.
