I will take the next speaking slot. We do not have details on the proposed cost scheme but we know that the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications will be responsible for establishing it. Without the details, it is difficult to assess whether this part of the Bill is deliverable or complies with the Aarhus Convention and so forth. Not having them is disappointing. What is wrong with section 50B as it stands and why not retain it?
