No, it is page 557 in the Bill.

Basically, I do not have anything further to add. It was to be helpful. It would be much more appropriate in guidance. There is no issue in doing that and setting out the principles in which public consultation can occur. The final thing I will say is to ask if anyone can put an example to me now of really poor public consultation through a State body or a local authority. It is greatly improved and the access to it is much better. It is really just about ensuring people know about it. When you get to the end of the process, many residents, even though it has been published and advertised, may not have engaged with it. It is after that process that complaints would generally be received. I do not have anything further to add to it. The provision as is included on page 59 in section 16 under "public inspection" is a catch-all and it should be. It is appropriate and reasonable and it will work.
