The Minister of State might clarify something. He said the amendments go beyond the scope of the Bill. We have 25 pages of amendments that have come in from the Minister of State that go well beyond the original scope of Bill and have nothing to do with archaeology and heritage. I am glad to acknowledge his interest in that particular point, but what elements of these amendments does he feel go beyond the scope of the Bill? Is it the sustainable development goals which, surely, should be applicable to all legislation? Is it the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015? Again, should we not consider all legislation through the lens of trying to tackle climate change and ensuring that we meet the UN sustainable development goals?
