I move amendment No. 25:

In page 43, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following:

“(7) (a) The relevant Minister shall establish a list of prescribed bodies for the purposes of consultation on regulations and other matters under this Act under their jurisdiction, and before making

regulations under this Act, consult with the existing set of prescribed bodies that are connected with or relate to the matters to which any proposed regulations the relevant Minister is preparing, and provide them with an effective opportunity to participate and comment on the proposed regulations, and take due account of the consultation input.

(b) The list prescribed under paragraph (a), shall include organisations engaged in environmental protection and shall include independent organisations.”.
