Amendment No. 240, tabled by Deputy Duffy, seeks a similar amendment to expand the scope to include enhancement of the environment, as well as preservation and protection.

While I cannot accept the amendment, I give a commitment to look at the other wording as per previous amendments. We will give consideration to it. It is not necessarily further expansion but it is different from restoration, for example. However, I appreciate the points the Deputy is trying to make with this amendment.
