Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill

Clause 5 concerns Section 56 of the 1996 Act, which is full of definitions. As all the other definitions effectively concern the construction of the link, and as we have already discussed the fact that there should not be a development agreement but that there should be another way of regulating and having licences instead for the link, there did not seem to be much point in having Section 56. However, I am sure that my noble friend will say that many things still need to be included and that it is just a tidying-up exercise following the previous discussion on the development agreement.
