Before we leave this point, I should say that I was specifically questioning ““in particular””. If you leave those words out, the clause essentially means exactly the same. I am always suspicious about extra words in Bills in case they mean something that I do not understand. As I understand the new section, it specifies—with reasonably clarity for once—that: "““The purposes which may be added include””."
It is clear that there may be other purposes not specified, but why do we have ““in particular””?
