I beg to move amendment 51, in clause 9, page 5, line 16, at end insert—
‘(3A) If after receiving advice from the Commission the Secretary of State lays before Parliament a strategy or a revised strategy, he shall lay with the strategy or the revised strategy a copy of the advice from the Commission and a statement showing:
(a) the extent to which he has, in framing the strategy, given effect to the advice of the Commission; and
(b) in so far as effect has not been given to the advice of the Commission, his reasons why not.’.
