I will fly through them. Amendment No. 1013 relates to section 314. That is where I thought it might be applicable to insert this amendment. It is on page 499. It is to try to collate decisions and particulars relating to sections 315, 316 and 317. These would be collated and reported to the Minister as prescribed in regulations. We often talk about enforcement, which probably does not get the same priority within planning authorities, or it certainly seems to come under quite a lot of pressure. It seeks to ensure the Minister will have overall sight of enforcement and enforcement matters - for example, where warning letters or enforcement actions have been issued, or where decisions have been taken not to proceed. I would be happy if the Department, the Planning Regulator or somebody else was collating a national view of actions under Part 11.
