I turn now to the technical amendments tabled relating to the Localism Act and the Marine and Coastal Access Act. The technical provisions in Clause 5 are consequential to the removal of the requirement to consult in Clause 4. If passed, the amendments tabled by the noble Baronesses would mean that the statute book would reference parts of the Planning Act that no longer exist. I thank noble Baronesses for their amendments. I hope that the information provided is helpful where amendments were probing. I urge noble Lords not to press their amendments.
