I strongly disagree with the Minister. We made the point that we know one is not restricted from doing this but not having it in the legislation does not give it the priority needed. We put forward the case strongly that the planning system has failed a number of people, including disabled people, in their ability to access essential public infrastructure. That is happening now. Given the failures, I would have thought there would be agreement that it would be important enough to list this in this 700-page Bill in this Part. I strongly disagree. The Minister referred to the "level of detail". It is a level of important detail that needs to be in the legislation. I will leave it at that on amendment No. 203. I want to come back in on amendment No. 205.
