What is the rationale for this? When the Agricultural Appeals Bill was being drafted, it was felt that it was appropriate to reference other legal and judicial remedies. Judicial review was also referenced when the statutory instrument was being drafted in 2017. What is the rationale in breaking with that by not referencing those processes and legal remedies in this legislation? It is a change. It is not for us to suggest there is a concern, but a change must be justified. Why is that change in policy being put forward by the Government?
