Briefly, this is the last chance to mention something we have not mentioned before Report Stage. I believe these issues arose yesterday but I want to ensure they are on the record. They are the concerns we have about access to justice issues in terms of the various consents for which the Bill sets out the provisions. Without making statements on it, there are concerns about the consents, the standing of NGOs and so forth as well as costs issues regarding access to justice in respect of the various provisions of the Bill. I wish to signal that in case we may need to table amendments in that regard on Report Stage.
