Yes, it does. I thank Dr. Johnson. One of the areas that is overlooked is our industrial heritage. When we look at heritage, we often focus on older sites, but to protect our industrial heritage for future generations is important.

I have a further question for the local authorities on the provisions around metal detectors. Is there a huge incidence of people using metal detectors and disturbing sites? I know there is provision in the Bill for that. Perhaps one of the witnesses would like to give some background on that. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend last week and it was probably more appropriate at that time.
