I raised this matter last week. Is the Minister of State happy with the terms of the definition of the word "thing" as it relates to a number of sections, including section 13. For example, section 13(10) states:

Subsection (6)shall not place the Minister under any obligation to cause a thing the subject of a return referred to in subsection (4)(a), or the site of the thing, to be inspected if the Minister is of the opinion that— (a) the thing is not a thing to which this section applies...

The meaning of "relevant things" is clarified on page 26 of the Bill but the definition of "thing" is not unless I just cannot see it. For legal clarity, is the Minister of State happy there is an understanding of what "thing" means?
