I thank the Minister for accepting amendment No. 57. It is a pity the other amendments have been ruled out of order. I would like to see the details of that. The intent behind the amendments, to which I will return in a series of later amendments, is to strengthen the tension on core environmental objectives, particularly climate change and biodiversity but also other elements. A number of my amendments come back to this in order to give strong direction from the start. I would have liked to have had a more detailed discussion about the national planning framework. The purpose of the amendments was in a way to try to give very clear direction as to what the key role of the national planning framework is. I might be able to do that on other amendments and I will come back to it then.
