With regard to the forward planning aspect, this is only about authorisations so it is post facto. Would a database not be a place also where we build up information on matters that could be relevant to any planning application or objective for planning development protection of the marine environment, even in advance of particular consent or particular applications? This is especially the case if the Minister of State is using the phrase "one-stop-shop". Surely this is exactly it. There is nothing wrong with duplication with the lobbying Act if it is all in one place. There would be a one-stop-shop where people could go and get all of the information that might be relevant to a particular marine area and live applications, as Deputy Gould said, and not just a list of the consents that have been given.
