I support the amendment from the Green Party. I raised this on Second Stage. It is a crucial issue. On the risk to health, it is supposed to be the second biggest cause of lung cancer after nicotine. It is a serious issue. I note the Minister's statement that all new homes are being fitted with radon barriers. I welcome that but there is a question there, particularly in the counties and areas that are in the high-risk zones. It is a worthwhile amendment. My party certainly supports it.
