I present the supplementary explanatory memorandum. It is a matter of great satisfaction to be able to move a large number of amendments tonight which essentially represent the efforts of the Planning and Environment Committee of the Assembly, with some revisions agreed to at a round table meeting earlier this week. There are 67 amendments. Some represent quite significant changes to the tenor of the legislation and constitute a major revision at the political level.
