Yes, it does. I have already answered this. I stated that I think we need to allow flexibility as to who is consulted at various times, depending on the type and format of the consultation that takes place. I am not in favour of including "prescribed bodies". I know the Deputy is not asking that the prescribed bodies be listed in the Bill. This is very well covered already in this section. A number of Deputies read out what is detailed in it so I will not do so again. The section is so broad that it catches everything, and rightly so. All the consultation we have done heretofore has borne that out.
