Ms Attracta U? Bhroin:

It also requires non-discrimination so depending on which end of the county one is living or on one's personal circumstances, one may be materially disadvantaged. The obvious thing to do is to start the clock when the information is available, when people have been effectively notified and can effectively participate, which is our legal obligation. In that way, we do not end up in a situation where somebody falls foul of the process. What we are trying to do is get everything to run smoothly.

In terms of electronic access, we need to be conscious that we have a very diverse society with very diverse challenges. Not everybody has Internet access or access to printers and so on, so we do need to have a facility for such people. It is fair to say, however, that a lot of the information is available online. I would be anxious to let Ms Duvall respond with regard to e-planning.
