§ Mr. WaddingtonSo far my Department has received representations from some 40 organisations and individuals. However, consultations are due to last until 30 June. As I said to my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Renton) on 24 March, in view of the importance and complexity of the issues raised in the Green Paper we do not expect to receive comments from the major organisations in industry until later in the consultative period.
