We visited Schiphol and Rotterdam airports. Rotterdam Airport was very interesting. It has solar panels around the perimeter of the airport that are now generating three times the amount of energy required to deal with activity at the airport itself. It is very progressive. I have no doubt the Minister will be very interested in this. Would he consider taking that up? We found it to be very much in the climate change space. We did not really got into the detail of how the airport sought planning. Is the Minister aware of that development at Rotterdam Airport?
