IN THIS REGARD THE GOVERNMENT RECOGNISES, AND WISHES TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THE DRAFT BILL HAS NOT REACHED THE SAME LEVEL OF REFINEMENT AS OTHER DRAFT BILLS IN THIS PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION.
HOWEVER THE CONCLUSION HAS BEEN REACHED THAT IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE AT THIS STAGE TO RELEASE THE DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A FIRM GUIDE TO THE GOVERNMENTS BROAD INTENTIONS. THIS WILL CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY GENERALLY TO MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE FINAL FORM OF THE BILL, AS WELL AS ALLOWING THE COMMUNITY TO COMMENT ON THE LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE AS A WHOLE AND SO ALLOW COMPLETION OF THE OVERALL PACKAGE TO NOW TAKE PLACE.
AS A RESULT OF THE SIZE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE BILL, I AM ALSO RELEASING A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATORY STATEMENT WHICH SUMMARISES THE INTENT OF EACH SECTION IN THE BILL IN CLEAR ENGLISH. I AM SURE THAT MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WILL FIND THE EXPLANATORY STATEMENT A USEFUL TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING BOTH THE INTENT AND CONTENT OF THE BILL AND IN PARTICULAR ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH EXISTING PIECES OF LAW.
THE BILL CONTAINS SIX PARTS. THE FIRST DEALS WITH MACHINERY MATTERS SUCH AS THE TITLE OF THE BILL, DEFINITIONS AND PUBLIC ACCESS TO INFORMATION RELATED TO THE LEASING PROCESS.
