Obviously we are going to return to this on Report Stage but I have related questions on foot of which I may or may not table amendments on Report Stage. Would the Minister of State be open to an amendment to say there would be no use of gas by the gas network from any LNG terminal? We should not be investing in further fossil fuel infrastructure, given the scale of the climate crisis. Would he support legislating for there being no further connections to the gas network by data centres, which is kind of related to what we are getting at here? Finally, is there a date on which the Government will commit to phasing out all use of fossil fuels by GNI and the gas network?
