On reflection, we find that what's being proposed is adding confusion. The proposed language in the bill has been carefully constructed, and we believe that “other entities” covers all of those entities, such as local authorities and private sector NGOs, with whom we need to cooperate. Paragraphs 4(1)(f) and 6(2)(a) provide specific references to local authorities, and we believe that's appropriate.

Thank you.
