In practice at the moment, a consultant would often come with them and they might ask to bring another person as well. Therefore, perhaps that could be broadened. I am not saying they can bring a whole circus but to have three would not be extravagant. In the vast majority of cases, they bring a consultant. In many cases, they will ask for a political representative to come with as well, or not necessarily a political representative but it could be someone else with a bit of expertise, such as a farm organisation and so on. They would have two people and themselves, which is three in total. We could broaden the Bill to allow the appellant have themselves and two others.
