I have minor questions on section 5 on which I will ask the Minister to expand. Section 5(b) proposes the deletion of "to further develop a quarry" and section 5(g) proposes to delete the words "in respect of a quarry". Am I right in thinking these two deletions will extend the application of section 37L to non-quarrying situations? Is this the name of the game? Is this the plan? Is it the case that at present the section is largely confined to quarries?
