Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
As the amendment was discussed on Committee Stage, I do not propose to delay the House. Its purpose is to make clear that environmental impact statements will only be valid for the purposes of the Bill when carried out by an independent person. An environmental impact statement carried out by a person who stands to gain from a project is of considerably less value than an independent study.
