I come to my slot now. We have three people wishing to speak and about 18 minutes left. I will be really strict with everybody. The Office of the Planning Regulator, OPR, produced a report on the 146 judicial reviews and various outcomes - quashed, permitted, upheld. In how many of those 146 decisions would there have been a different outcome, had section 249 been in place? Has anybody within PII or IIP had an opportunity to look at that? Essentially we did not look at 146 judicial review cases that the OPR had outlined to identify the problems we are trying to fix here. Instead, we decided to just change the decision-making process and the error of law.

Have any of the witnesses had an opportunity to work out a tracked changes document on this? Have they been able to look at the consolidated Act that the Law Society has very helpfully produced and compared it with this to identify differences and omissions?
