Silent Bob -I share your consternation and frustration at the snail-like progress of this Bill, however, and correct me if i'm wrong, but when the bill is implemented won't it replace the HERs etc with a single list of equivalent function (but larger scope, incorporating SAMs, listed buildings and marine etc), and until this happens won't the exisiting HERs continue to function in their current manner until a new structure exists. It is also worth noting that after attending the recent IFA meeting at which Peter Hinton and Charles Wagner spoke on the new Bill, actual details on the content are proving very hard to come by as the government is restricting access until a new draft is published - probably in early December.
