Group 3: Part 1 – Significant Infrastructure Projects: Energy (Amendments 192, 96, 37, 193, 194, 196, 139, 140)
I'm looking forward to the Minister's response to Delyth's point there as to why it's appropriate to have them in. There may well be very good reasons to have them within this Bill in terms of national infrastructure, because, again, it's that issue of the…

Group 2: Part 1 – Significant Infrastructure Projects: Local ownership of energy projects (Amendments 191, 195)
