Amendment 58 follows a similar theme to some of the other amendments that my noble friend Lord Markham and I have tabled, which is that of improving clarity in the Bill. As we and others have said before, there are many areas of the Bill that are rather vague: terms, objectives and duties are not clearly defined and, as such, open to a wide range of interpretations or misinterpretations. As with our amendments on the meanings of sustainability and fans, to which we have given lots of time but not yet received the clarity and answers we sought, this amendment takes what the Government have written in their Explanatory Notes and simply puts it in the Bill. As I said on those other definitions used by the Government, if they are good enough to be used elsewhere, I am keen to hear why they should not be in the Bill.
