This clause places the onus of consultation on the Secretary of State, so would my hon. Friend elaborate a little on what form that consultation might take? He has just said, helpfully, that he also hopes that local councils will take the initiative to contribute in parallel to that process, but the Bill puts the onus on the Secretary of State. Will he settle that point for me?
