I was not going to intervene on the amendment but the noble Lord has rather challenged me to say a word. I do not believe that the observations he has made are in any way limited to a Liberal perspective because they reflect completely my experience in the reality of...

As there was a reference to me, perhaps I should intervene. I apologise for not having associated myself with this endeavour previously, but in the week before the recess I was hospitalised. I am grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, for her amendment. I should explain that I am...

It is not for me to thank my noble friend for that guidance, because it is not my amendment, but I find her words extremely powerful and very reassuring. I, for one, welcome them. I find them so powerful and reassuring that I cannot for the life of me see...

I would like to speak to my Amendment No. 191, which is in this group. It relates to our discussions last Tuesday.

I shall speak to Amendments Nos. 301A and 306A. I do not in any way seek to challenge the importance of national policy statements, but rather to ensure that the provisions already laid out in other detailed planning documentation are also considered by the IPC.
