I propose to take Questions Nos. 427 to 434, inclusive, together.

These applications for foreshore consents were received by my Department in the period January to April 2008. The applications were circulated to statutory consultees and responses have been received. The applications are currently being examined by the Marine Licence Vetting Committee (MLVC), which advises my Department on scientific and technical aspects of such applications. Every effort is being made to expedite consideration of the applications in accordance with standard procedures.
