There are a number of technical drafting issues with the Bill which, subject to advice from the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, may require a Government amendment on Report Stage. The first of these is in section 110, while there are others in related sections in Part 4. It concerns the complex interaction between compulsory acquisition of ancillary rights for the purpose of developing minerals and planning law.
