I agree with the noble and learned Lord. Whenever a lawyer sees two different words in the same subsection, he will always try to find two different meanings. For myself, I cannot see a great deal of difference between ““significant”” and ““substantial””. I suspect the reason for having ““substantial”” is because it appears in the context of the whole phrase ““or a substantial””. It seems the natural word to use there. I doubt whether it widens the meaning beyond ““significant””, but I may be wrong.
