I accept the point the Minister of State is making. He is dealing with planning today but it is important that he goes to the Minister. This is something that we want to move forward with and it is important.

Another issue which may not be of concern but which I wish to raise is that if I engage someone to install a gas boiler, they have to be certified to install it. We are talking now about putting much bigger solar panels on people’s roofs. Are there regulations around the people who install solar panels? I know that this is a side issue but we are looking now at much bigger solar panels being put on people’s roofs and we must be sure of the safety of them into the future. I am not looking for a direct answer here but we want to ensure that this is done correctly.
