My concern about these Parts of the Bill is that it is not very clear or explicit. The exchange we have just had probably demonstrates that. I just asked that question about Annex IV of the habitats directive, strictly protected species, and it took a while to be able to get an answer on it. I am concerned that the legislation is not explicitly clear here, that this could be missed or that it is not sufficiently robust in terms of ensuring that this happens.
