[Amendments Nos. 180 to 182 not moved.] Clause 37 agreed to. Clause 38 [Register of applications]: [Amendment No. 183 not moved.] Clause 38 agreed to. Clauses 39 and 40 agreed to. Clause 41 [Duty to consult]: [Amendments Nos. 183A to 188 not moved.] Clause 41 agreed to. Clause 42 [Local authorities for purposes of section 41(1)(b)]: [Amendments Nos. 189 to 191 not moved.] Clause 42 agreed to. Clause 43 [Categories for purposes of section 41(1)(d)]:
