Localism Bill

I am conscious that the Minister has spoken, but can she deal with one point, which may be just a matter of drafting? The existing Bill refers to, "““furthering the social, economic and environmental well-being of individuals living, or wanting to live, in an area””." The amendment would change that to, "““it is established for the express purpose of promoting or improving the social, economic and environmental well-being of an area””." The reference to ““individuals”” has slipped out. This may be a point of drafting rather than one of substance, and I am trying to see what it is if there is one. Can the Minister give us an assurance on that?
